Pronunciation involves a series of vowel sounds and consonant clusters typical of French, with potential for elision and liaison in connected speech.

3. Morphemic Analysis:

• Prefix: None
• Root: bureaucrate (from French bureau - office, and Greek kratēs - ruler) - denoting a person holding a position in a bureaucracy.
• Suffix: -isasse - a complex suffix indicating the past historic subjunctive mood. This is composed of:
  • -ise (infinitival suffix, from Latin -izare)

6. Edge Case Review:

The word is relatively straightforward in terms of syllabification, but the length and complexity of the suffix can pose challenges. The "sasse" ending is a relatively uncommon formation, making it a potential area for mispronunciation or incorrect syllabification.
