1. Pronunciation & Initial Examination:

The word "collationnassiez" is the second-person plural imperfect subjunctive of the verb "collationner" (to collect, to gather, to collate). It's a relatively complex word due to the double 'n' and the subjunctive mood ending. The pronunciation will involve liaison possibilities depending on the following word.

2. Syllable Division:

Following French syllabification rules, which prioritize vowel sounds and avoid breaking consonant clusters unless they are complex, the division will be: col-la-tion-nas-siez.

3. Morphemic Analysis:

• Prefix: None
• Root: collation- (from Latin collatio, meaning "a bringing together, collection"). This is the base of the verb "collationner".
• Suffix: -nassiez (imperfect subjunctive ending for vous - you plural). This is a combination of:
  • -n- (part of the subjunctive stem formation)
  • -ass- (imperfect tense marker)
  • -iez (second-person plural ending)

5. Phonetic Transcription:

/kɔ.la.sjɔ̃.na.sje/

6. Syllable Breakdown & Rule Application:

• col- /kɔl/ - Open syllable. Rule: Syllables are formed around vowel sounds. The 'l' follows the vowel and is included in the syllable.
• la- /la/ - Open syllable. Rule: Same as above.
• tion- /sjɔ̃/ - Closed syllable. Rule: The 't' initiates a new syllable because it's a consonant preceding a vowel. The nasal vowel /ɔ̃/ forms the nucleus.
• nas- /na/ - Open syllable. Rule: The 's' follows the vowel and is included in the syllable.
• siez /sje/ - Closed syllable. Rule: The 's' initiates a new syllable because it's a consonant preceding a vowel. This syllable receives the primary stress.

7. Edge Case Review:

The double 'n' in "collationnassiez" doesn't create a syllable break. French generally avoids breaking up geminate consonants unless they are part of a complex cluster.
