::::That's weird. When I try to pronounce wire it also comes out as two syllables (Wye-Ur). Consider that it rhymes with briar/brier (Brye-Ur). --[[User:AndyPKMN|Andy<sup>P</sup><sub>K</sub><sup>M</sup><sub>N</sub>]] 10:58, 25 October 2010 (UTC) | ::::That's weird.

:::::It's because of the semi-silent nature of the e. It modifies the pronounciation of the r, but it isn't a separate syllable because it isn't pronounced itself. A syllable needs at least one ''pronounced'' vowel. If it were two syllables it would be wye-rey. The English language can be very odd at times. <span class="sc">[[User:Werdnae|<span style="color:#2D4B98;">Werdnae</span>]]</span> <small>[[User talk:Werdnae|<span style="color:#009000;">(talk)</span>]]</small> 20:29, 25 October 2010 (UTC) | :::::It's because of the semi-silent nature of the e.

::::::I feel like Electivire would tie with Feraligatr for five syllables as well. If the last two syllables in "vire" only count as one for having only one pronounced vowel, then the last two syllables in "gatr" should also count as one because there's only one pronounced vowel there.[[User:MasterPeteDiddy|MasterPeteDiddy]] ([[User talk:MasterPeteDiddy|talk]]) 23:25, 5 June 2018 (UTC) | ::::::I feel like Electivire would tie with Feraligatr for five syllables as well.
