10. Division Rules:

• Rule 1: Open Syllables: Syllables ending in a vowel are generally open (e.g., "con-trac-tua-li-se").
• Rule 2: Consonant Clusters: Consonant clusters are generally kept together within a syllable unless they are complex or disrupt the natural flow of pronunciation (e.g., "tr" in "con-tract").
• Rule 3: Vowel Sequences: Vowel sequences are often divided into separate syllables (e.g., "tua-li").
• Rule 4: Final Syllable Stress: Stress typically falls on the final syllable.

11. Special Considerations:

The "con-" prefix is always a separate syllable. The "-iser" suffix is also consistently a separate syllable. The vowel "a" in "ras" is a schwa-like sound, but it still forms a syllable on its own.

12. Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations:
