4. Syllables List with IPA and Rule Explanations:

• con /kon/ - Open syllable. Rule: Syllables generally end in a vowel. No consonant clusters impede syllable division.
• den /den/ - Open syllable. Rule: Syllables generally end in a vowel.
• sa /sa/ - Open syllable. Rule: Syllables generally end in a vowel.

5. Syllable Division Rule Explanations:

• The primary rule applied is vowel-centric syllabification. Spanish syllables generally consist of a vowel nucleus, potentially preceded by one or more consonants (onset) and followed by one or more consonants (coda).
• Consonant clusters are generally maintained within a syllable unless they are complex and violate Spanish phonotactics.
• Stress assignment follows the standard Spanish rules, prioritizing the penultimate syllable when the word ends in a vowel, 'n', or 's'.

6. Potential Exceptions/Special Cases:

• The 'b' sound in 'bi' is a common allophone of /v/ in Spanish, but doesn't affect syllabification.
• The final 'd' in 'dad' forms a closed syllable, which is typical for Spanish.

7. Exceptions/Special Cases for the Word as a Whole:

• The word is relatively straightforward in its syllabification, adhering to standard Spanish rules. No major exceptions are present.

8. Syllabification and Parts of Speech:

• "Condensabilidad" primarily functions as a noun. Its syllabification remains consistent regardless of its grammatical role. As it is a noun, it does not undergo inflection that would alter its syllable structure.

9. Definition & Semantics:

10. Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations:

• Regional variations in the pronunciation of /b/ and /v/ exist, but these do not affect the syllabification.
• Some speakers might slightly reduce the vowel sounds in unstressed syllables, but the syllable boundaries remain the same.
