 end of a line when division can be avoided with- out bad spacing.

The terminations -ed and -ing of all verbs and participles may be carried over when unavoidable in a narrow measure, as in
 * bound-ed
 * bound-ing
 * debat-ed
 * debat-ing
 * gild-ed
 * gild-ing
 * rat-ed
 * rat-ing

The terminations -er and -est in many adjectives are divisible, but when pronunciation practically makes one syllable only of a word, as in cooked, its division should be avoided when possible.
 * black-er
 * black-est
 * bold-er
 * bold-est
 * great-er
 * great-est
 * strong-er
 * strong-est

The terminations -ed, -ing, -er, -est, should not be carried over as distinct syllables in words that double the consonants preceding, as:
 * admit-ted
 * hot-ter
 * red-der
 * admit-ting
 * hot-test
 * red-dest
