+\- make a crude guess as to the number of syllables of a word

+.B syl

+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.B syl
+applies some very crude heuristics to guess at the number of syllables that
+would be used if the Latin-alphabet word on the command line were spoken out
+loud. It is far too inaccurate for any serious use, particularly for languages
+other than English; the author uses it for poetry generation.
