How many syllables do Anglo saxon words have?

It's impossible to say how many syllables Anglo-Saxon words have, because:

* Anglo-Saxon is an extinct language. It was spoken in England from the 5th to the 12th centuries, and evolved into Middle English. While we have records of Anglo-Saxon words, the language itself isn't spoken anymore.

* Syllable count varies within a language. There's no set number of syllables for any language. Even within Anglo-Saxon, words would have had different numbers of syllables depending on the word itself.

To understand more about Anglo-Saxon:

* Look at old texts: You can find examples of Anglo-Saxon words in texts like the epic poem *Beowulf*.

* Learn about Old English: Old English is the term for Anglo-Saxon as a written language. You can find resources on Old English grammar and vocabulary.

Remember, it's not about finding a fixed number of syllables but about understanding the sounds and structure of the language itself.
