12. In compounds ending with _holder_ or _monger_: e.g., _stockholder_, _ironmonger_.
13. In compounds beginning with _eye_: e.g., _eyeglass_, _eyebrow_, _eyelash_, _eyewitness_, etc.
14. In compounds with the word _school_: e.g., _schoolmates_, _schoolmaster_, etc. Exceptions: when made with a participle: e.g., _school-teaching_; or in combinations where separate words are more clear: e.g., _school committee_, _school children_, etc.
15. In compounds with _deutero_, _electro_, _pseudo_, _sulpho_, _thermo_, etc., unless the compound is unusual: e.g., _electrotype_, _pseudonym_, etc.
16. In compound adverbs: e.g., _meantime_, _moreover_, _forever_, _everywhere_, etc. But in phrases like _after a while_, _in the mean time_, _for ever and ever_, the words should be separated.
17. In words like _anybody_, _anyhow_, _anything_, _anyway_, _anywhere_, _somebody_, _somehow_, _something_, _sometime_, _somewhat_, _somewhere._ But _any one_ and _some one_ are written as separate words. { 52}
The unnecessary division of a word should always be avoided. The whole word should be carried over whenever possible.
2. A word should be divided in accordance with its natural division in correct pronunciation, rather than according to derivation: e.g., _knowl-edge_, not _know-ledge_; but divide according to meaning and derivation as far as is compatible with good spacing and pronunciation: e.g., _dis-pleasure_, not _displeas-ure_.
3. A single consonant between two vowels should be joined with the first vowel if short, but with the latter if long: e.g., _riv-er_, _ri-val_; but avoid dividing words as short as these if possible.
4. When two consonants come together between two vowels the consonants should be divided: e.g., _mil-lion_, _struc-ture_.
5. When three consonants come together between two vowels the first of which is short, all which can be pronounced together go with the last syllable: e.g., _han-dle_, _chil-dren_, _frus-trate_, etc.
6. Whenever practicable, and always when the pronunciation of a word is peculiar, the division should come upon the vowel: e.g., _pro-duct_, _colo-nel_, _sepa-rate_, _peo-ple_, _pro-gress_. { 53}
Exceptions: words ending in _-able_ and _-ible_, which should carry the vowel over into the next line.
