Quick! How many syllables does...?

the word ''aurora'' have?



Now I'm talking about Shakespeare here, and you know how words like ''toil'' sometimes has 1, sometimes has 2.



I would like to know if Aurora is this case.



Thank you. (Aurora capitalized because I'm referring to the goddess of dawn).

Aurora has 3.



Au-ro-rha



Toil has 2, but because there are 2 consecutive vowels O and I, some regard 'toil' as only having one syllable even though there is a change of tone in the spoken word.
