syllabize &c. A verb & a noun are clearly sometimes needed for the notion of dividing words into syllables. The possible pairs seem to be the following (the number after each word means — 1, that it is in fairly common use; 2, that it is on record; 3, that it is not given in OED): —  syllabate 3    syllabation 2 syllabicate 2    syllabication 1 syllabify 2      syllabification 1 syllabize 1     syllabization 3One first-class verb, two first-class nouns, but neither of those nouns belonging to that verb. It is absurd enough, & any of several ways out would do; that indeed is why none of them is taken. The best thing would be to accept the most recognized verb ''syllabize'', give it the now non-existent noun ''syllabization'', & relegate all the rest to the Superfluous words; but there is no authority both willing & able to issue such decrees.
