A syllable in Haoli includes a syllable nucleus consisting of a vowel sound. Syllable onset and coda are optional. A syllable can start and end with only one consonant. This gives an Haoli syllable the following structure, (C)V(C) where C represents a consonant and V a vowel. If through derivation a word would have two consecutive syllables where the first ends with the same vowel that the second begins with, example ''leka'' + ''að'', then the two syllables are merged and a long vowel is produced (''lekāð''). There is a preference for CVC and VC syllables over CV syllables if they can be avoided. For example, ''nuasag'', would be divided into ''nu-as-ag'' instead of ''nu-a-sag''. Another example, ''kafatge'', would be divided into ''kaf-at-ge'' instead of ''ka-fat-ge''. | A syllable in Haoli includes a syllable nucleus consisting of a vowel sound.

For example, ''ðulero'', is accented as '''''ðul'''-er-o''. | ||
