Note that the union of vowels in separate words is called synalepha, while the union of vowels within a word is called syneresis. But synalepha may occur in combinations of vowels in which syneresis would be impossible. Compare te|ní|a and ca|no|a with:
A|sí al | man|ce|bo in|te|rrum|pe (p. 94, l. 13). Ni | la | mi|ra|da | que | lan|zó al | sos|la|yo (p. 219, l. 8).
