Division Rules Applied:

• Nasal vowels influence the final syllable structure.
• The verb ending "-ont" is a common and consistent pattern.

Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations: While standard French pronunciation is as described, some regional variations might exist in the articulation of the "r" sound. However, these variations do not significantly alter the syllabification.
