The differences in syllable division arise from the specific consonant and vowel sequences within each word, but the overall pattern of vowel-centered syllables remains consistent.

10. Syllable Analysis Breakdown:

• con /kɔ̃/: Open syllable. Rule: Every vowel sound forms the nucleus of a syllable. Exception: Nasal vowel.
• cep /sɛp/: Closed syllable. Rule: Consonant following a vowel closes the syllable.
• tu /ty/: Open syllable. Rule: Every vowel sound forms the nucleus of a syllable.
• a /a/: Open syllable. Rule: Every vowel sound forms the nucleus of a syllable.
• lis /li/: Closed syllable. Rule: Consonant following a vowel closes the syllable.
• mes /zɛm/: Closed syllable. Rule: Consonant following a vowel closes the syllable.

11. Special Considerations: The nasal vowel /ɔ̃/ in "con" is a characteristic feature of French phonology and doesn't affect the syllable division rules.

12. Division Rules:

• Vowel Nucleus Rule: Every syllable must have a vowel sound as its nucleus.
• Consonant Closure Rule: A consonant following a vowel closes the syllable.
• French Syllable Structure: French generally favors open syllables (ending in a vowel) but allows for closed syllables, especially with common consonant clusters.

13. Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations: While the pronunciation is fairly standard, some regional variations might slightly alter the vowel quality or the emphasis on the final syllable. However, these variations do not significantly affect the syllable division.
