1926 H. W. Fowler Dict. Mod. Eng. Usage 590/2 A verb & a noun are clearly sometimes needed for the notion of dividing words into syllables. The possible pairs seem to be..syllabify..syllabification [etc.]... The best thing would be to accept the most recognized verb syllabize, give it the now non-existent noun syllabization, [etc.].
1929 S.P.E. Tract (Soc. for Pure Eng.) No. XXXIII. 436 Under syllabize etc. he [sc. Fowler] exposes a want in our vocabulary, which perhaps indicates a general lack of interest in syllabization.
1976 Archivum Linguisticum 7 181 In Adrados's explanation, these forms without colouring of the vowel occur in a different syllabization.
