• Mathematiker (mathematician): ma-the-ma-ti-ker. Shares the mathe- root, but simpler syllable structure and stress on "-ma-".

The differences in syllable division and stress are due to the varying suffixes and overall word length. Longer words with more suffixes tend to have more syllables and a shifted stress pattern.

10. Division Rules:

• Onset Maximization: Consonant clusters are generally kept together at the beginning of a syllable (e.g., vers-).
• Vowel Peak: Each syllable must contain a vowel sound.
• Sonority Sequencing: Syllables follow a sonority hierarchy, with sounds becoming more sonorous towards the nucleus (vowel).
• Schwa Deletion: In unstressed syllables, schwa sounds (/ə/) can be reduced or elided.

11. Special Considerations:

The "-ungs-" sequence is a common feature in German nominalizations and often forms a syllable on its own. The long vowel /aː/ in "-maː-" contributes to the stress placement.
