Stress Rule
Words ending in consonants other than *n* or *s* are stressed on the antepenultimate syllable.
- Regional pronunciation of 'c' before 'i' and 'e' as /θ/ or /s/ does not affect syllabification.
- The suffix *-ecimiento* is a complex morphological unit, but its internal structure doesn't alter the overall syllabification rules.
