DROPPED SYLLABLE
Review: the number of vowels = the number of syllables
To /t~ / 1 vowel = 1 syllable
Today /t~ocI/ 2 vowel = 2 syllables
Vanity /{vIVti/ 3 vowel = 3 syllables
But sometimes vowels sounds disappear given as a consequence a
reduction in the number of syllables ex.
Basic /|cIoik/ 2 syllables
Basically /|cIoiki/ 3 syllables
Practice /t{ktIo/ 2 syllables
Practically /t{ktIki/ 3 syllables
Dramatic /o~{tik/ 3 syllables
Dramatically /o~{tikI/ 4 syllables
