Division Rules Applied:

1. Vowel Peak Principle: Each syllable must contain a vowel sound.

The future tense ending "-ai" is a relatively weak syllable and can sometimes be elided in rapid speech, but it maintains its syllabic identity in standard pronunciation.

Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations:

While the pronunciation is fairly standard, some regional variations might involve a slightly more open or closed articulation of the vowels. However, these variations do not significantly affect the syllable division.
