rily goes over as in _occa-sion_ _apprehen-sion_ _cis-sion_ _declen-sion_ Occasionally, however, the strong emphasis needed for the _s_ will call for a different arrangement, as in _divis-ion_. IX The terminations _-ing_, _-en_, _-ed_, _-er_, _-est_, and the plural _-es_ go over to the next line except when the preceding consonant is doubled, or when they follow _c_ or _g_ soft. _lead-ing_ _beat-en_ _larg-er_, but _lat-ter_ _for-cing_ _ran-ging_ X Do not end a line with _j_ or with _c_ or _g_ soft. _pro-cess_ _ne-cessary_ _pre-judice_ _prog-eny_ XI Adjectives in _ical_ divide on the _i_. _physi-cal_ _inimi-cal_ XII In derivatives of words ending in _-t_, the division follows the accent. _objec-tion_, not _object-ion_, _defec-tion_, not _defect-ion_, but _respec-tively_, not _respect-ively_ and _distinc-tion_, not _distinct-ion_. XIII Never separate _c_ and _g_ from the vowels _e_, _i_, and _y_ upon which their soft sound depends. _re-li-gion_ _ca-pa-ci-ty_ XIV Never separate _q_ from _u_, _qu_ is a single sound. XV Do not divide _nothing_. XVI Do not divide words of four letters. XVII Do not divide words of five or six letters if it can be avoided. Good spacing, however, must be considered of first importance. XVIII In wide measures (20 ems or more) do not divide so as to end or begin a line with a syllable of two letters. Here again, however, good spacing is the first consideration. XIX Do not divide words of two syllables pronounced as one, including past participles of short words. _heaven_ _power_ _prayer_ _beamed_ _often_ XX Avoid additional hyphens in hyphenated words if possible. _object-lesson_ _fellow-being_ _poverty-stricken_ XXI Do not separate a divisional mark (_a_), (_1_) from the matter to which it pertains. XXII Do not divide an amount stated in figures. XXIII Do not divide proper names, especially those of persons, if it can be avoided. XXIV Do not divide initials or such combinations as _a.m._, _B.C._ XXV Do not divide the last word on a page so as to carry a part of it to the next page. XXVI Do not divide the last word of the last full line of a paragraph. XXVII More than two divisions in successive lines should be avoided. XXVIII Never divide at all if you can help it.
