10. Division Rules:

• Rule 1: Vowel Separation: Vowels between consonants are generally separated into different syllables. (e.g., "ta-ne")
• Rule 2: Consonant Cluster Separation: Consonant clusters are split according to sonority, with the more sonorous consonant typically moving to the following syllable. (e.g., "ch-ar", "rl-a")
• Rule 3: Single Consonant Rule: A single consonant between vowels usually goes with the following vowel. (e.g., "la-ta")
• Rule 4: Diphthong/Triphthong Rule: Diphthongs and triphthongs are treated as a single syllable. (e.g., "ea" in "ne-a")

11. Special Considerations:

The "rl" cluster is a notable exception, treated as a single unit for syllabification. The stress pattern is typical for verbs ending in "-emos" in the future tense.

12. Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations:

Pronunciation of "ch" can vary slightly between regions, but the syllabification remains consistent. Some regional accents might slightly alter vowel quality, but this doesn't affect syllable division.
