5. Syllable Division Rule Explanations:

• Rule 1: Consonant-Vowel (CV): The most basic syllable division in Spanish. A consonant followed by a vowel typically forms a syllable (e.g., em, bo).
• Rule 2: Vowel-Consonant-Vowel (VCV): When a vowel is followed by a consonant and then another vowel, the syllable is divided between the vowels (e.g., bo-t͡ʃin).
• Rule 3: Consonant Cluster: When a consonant cluster occurs, the division depends on the sonority hierarchy. In this case, the 't͡ʃ' cluster is treated as a single onset.
• Rule 4: Stress Placement: Spanish stress generally falls on the penultimate syllable unless indicated otherwise by an accent mark.

6. Exceptions/Special Cases per Syllable:

• The 't͡ʃ' sound is a single phoneme in Spanish, despite being a consonant cluster in its articulation.
• The 'ɾ' is a single tap consonant, not a trill, and functions as a syllable-final consonant.

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

• The combination of iterative suffix -ara- and the subjunctive ending -is is somewhat uncommon but grammatically correct.
