10. Syllable Analysis Breakdown:

11. Division Rules Applied:

• Rule 1: Vowel-Consonant (VC): Syllables are divided after a vowel followed by a consonant (e.g., fa-nfar).
• Rule 2: Consonant-Vowel (CV): Syllables are divided before a vowel preceded by a consonant (e.g., ro-ne).
• Rule 3: Consonant-Vowel-Consonant (CVC): Syllables are divided to separate the vowel from the surrounding consonants (e.g., nfar).
• Rule 4: Stress Rule: In Spanish, words are generally stressed on the penultimate syllable if they end in a vowel, 'n', or 's'. If they end in other consonants, they are stressed on the final syllable.

12. Special Considerations: The "rr" sequence is treated as a single consonant for syllabification purposes. The diphthong "ea" is considered a single vowel sound within the syllable.

13. Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations: The 'r' sound can vary between a tap and a trill depending on the region. This doesn't affect the syllabification.
