syllabicate 2 syllabication 1 syllabify 2 syllabification 1 syllabize 1 syllabization 3 One first-class verb, two first-class nouns, but neither of those nouns belonging to that verb.

The best thing would be to accept the most recognized verb syllabize, give it the now non-existent noun syllabization, & relegate all the rest to the Superfluous words; but there is no authority both willing & able to issue such decrees.
