Detailed Syllable Analysis:

Division Rules Applied:

• Rule 1: Vowel-Initial Syllable: Syllable division occurs before each vowel.
• Rule 2: Consonant-Initial Syllable: Syllable division occurs before each consonant, unless it forms a digraph or a consonant cluster that must remain together.

Special Considerations:

• The "ll" digraph is treated as a single phoneme /ʎ/ and remains within the same syllable.
• The pronunciation of "c" before "e" varies regionally.

Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations:

In Latin America, the "c" before "e" is pronounced as /s/, resulting in a slightly different phonetic transcription: /ena.ma.ri.ʎe.se.ɾas/. This does not affect the syllable division.
