The term "prehaps" seems to be a typographical error for "perhaps." If we consider "perhaps," it does not fit neatly into the VCV (vowel-consonant-vowel) or VCCV (vowel-consonant-consonant-vowel) patterns. Instead, it follows a VCV pattern with the "per" as a consonant cluster followed by the vowel "a" and the consonant "ps." Thus, "perhaps" is best represented by the VCCV pattern.
To determine whether a word follows the VCCV (vowel-consonant-consonant-vowel) or VCV (vowel-consonant-vowel) pattern, look at the arrangement of the letters. In a VCCV pattern, two consonants come between two vowels, while in a VCV pattern, a single consonant is sandwiched between two vowels. For example, in the word "basket," the structure is VCCV, whereas in "ocean," it follows the VCV pattern. Analyzing the syllable breaks can also help clarify the structure.
"Distance" is a VCCV word, with the short vowel 'i' sound in the first syllable and the 'e' sound in the second syllable.
