Explanation:

This covers the 1-consonant syllable division rule (VCV pattern): first split after the first vowel, if that doesn't fit the word's sound, split after the consonant.

1. For the rule description: When one consonant is between vowels, first divide after the first vowel (VC/V, the VCV split). If that fails, move the divide after the consonant (V/CV).
2. For the example words:

• recompete follows VC/V: re-com-pete
