• bo-: /bo/ - Open syllable. Rule: Syllables generally end in vowels. No exceptions.
• rro-: /ro/ - Closed syllable. Rule: Consonant clusters within a syllable are maintained as long as they can be pronounced without violating phonotactic constraints. The 'rr' is a geminate 'r' and forms a single consonant sound within the syllable.
• na-: /na/ - Open syllable. Rule: Syllables generally end in vowels. No exceptions.
• ria-: /ɾja/ - Closed syllable. Rule: The 'r' is a tap, and 'ria' forms a valid syllable structure.

7. Edge Case Review: The geminate 'rr' is a common feature in Spanish and doesn't present a significant syllabification challenge. The infix '-ari-' is also standard and doesn't create unusual syllable boundaries.
