Are syllabs a parameter included in appraisals?

[Genialnames]

It is known that one of the most influencing parameters in a domain name appraisal is the numbers of letters and or chipres or both. The shortest the best, this fact it is demonstrated by the cost for thee letters DNs' ,right?

Now I am still of the opinion that this shouldn't be a absolute rule to apply always as it is for dashes but it works in appropriate cases as well it doesn't apply for others.IMHO
By the way I come across the idea that other than acrostics and few exceptions that have so no relevance, as general rule is that wny word is build on syllabs that's make it pronunciable and comprhensible.

In another post I was reasoning about the factors that make a name works better than other, what are common characteritics that make some word be so succesful and effective for business purposes so it comed out there is a relation between the sound of a word and the structure of syllabs and that certains combinations are more recuirring than others.
For as it may seem a fairy argument I want just remember that it is not, since it is related with language, hence communication between persons, and perception.
That it is a complex and far to be disclosed field of knowledge.

Now in base on these considerations, I wonder if anyone of the appraisers here is used to keep in count also the number of syllabs in a Domain Name,(and the quality of them)to determine the value of a Domain?
Or do you know of someone who is used to do it or if some guru has neve pointed out this before?
I wish to learn a little more on the subject.

I personally never have heard of anyone using syllables as a guide for appraisals, but I am sure someone does. I think typically syllables goes along with # of letters, so # of letters is just used instead.

Thanks for have had the patience for reading, jeter4982

I think it is not, would you count please the number of letter and the number of syllabs for NAMEPROS?
to me it is
Nr of letters 8
Nr of syllabs 3
2 syllabs count 2 letters
1 syllab contain 4 letter

(I may be wrong since I am countin followin Italian gramar rules, could be different)

No, I understand they are not equal, but I was just saying that as syllables increase, the number of letters tend to as well. For example, a 4 syllable word is typically longer in letters then a 3 syllable word. This is not always true, and there are a lot of exceptions, but that is just my general opinion.

I've never heard of this before. I don't think it would be a good way to do business because it really doesn't help you out. I've never seen this used in any way in the world. You never know though

jeter4982,
I appreciated instead the fact that you helped me to keep alive the thread with your comment.

Usually a syllab it is constituded at least by a couple of letter up.
In the spoken language words are first constituted by syllabs and then syllabs are constituded by letters. This is the order in wich things works.
So in average the number of syllabs in a word or a phrase it is the half of the number of the letters.
When telling a Domain Name by mouth the first thing people they ear is the sound, then it is the meaning.
The sound it is created by the syllabs, and more precisely by the way in wich letters are combined.
There are names that sounds better than others and some it play even magic, people can't forget it.
That's why I say syllabs are a relevant element.

I wouldn't accept an appraisal (I am talking about professional services, pay services) that give a low value to a domain name, only because it is not 3 letters, it is not .com it contain hyphens,it contain numbers,it contain too many characters an so forth.
Each one of these factor it is usually considered negative and it is used to subctract value to a domain name.
That is not correct, if it is used in absolute way, always.

Now, those who have read this thread should have a little more awrness on the subject as I have aquired.

I would avoid to pay the ignorance of others at expenses of my properties.
