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.
IMPORTANCE OF SPACING
It must always be remembered that good spacing is the first consideration.
