Can anyone help with the following query?

| What is a minor syllable? In braille writing, one is
| allowed to use "short-cuts", or contractions, if the contraction
| does not overlap a syllable break, UNLESS the syllable
| is a minor syllable.
| 
| For example, there is a contraction for the part-word
| "and".
| 
| The contraction and CAN be used in the word handle,
| since (apparently) the syllable break han-dle is a minor
| syllable break.
| 
| Comments?
