2. Syllable Division:

Following French syllabification rules, which prioritize vowel sounds and avoid breaking consonant clusters unless they are complex, the division will be as follows (detailed in the syllable analysis section).

3. Morphemic Analysis:

• Root: fich- (from ficher, originally meaning to prick, pierce, but evolved to mean to care about, to bother with). Function: core meaning of the verb.

6. Edge Case Review:

The "tr" cluster is a common initial consonant cluster in French and doesn't typically cause syllable division issues. The vowel "e" in "ficherais" is a schwa /ə/ and can be reduced or elided in rapid speech.

7. Grammatical Role:

"Contreficherais" is exclusively a verb form (conditional present, 1st person plural). Syllabification remains consistent regardless of its role within a sentence.

8. Definition & Semantics:

• Definition: To not care about, to disregard, to not bother with (in a conditional sense - "we would not care about").
• Grammatical Category: Verb (conditional present, 1st person plural)
• Translation: We would not care about.
• Synonyms: nous nous en moquerions, nous indifférerions
• Antonyms: nous nous préoccuperions, nous nous soucierions

9. Phonological Comparison:

• comparerais: /kɔ̃.pa.ʁe/ - Syllable division: com-pa-re-rais. Similar structure with a prefix and suffix. Stress on the final syllable.
• définirais: /de.fi.ni.ʁe/ - Syllable division: dé-fi-ni-rais. Similar suffix "-rais". Stress on the final syllable.
• remplirais: /ʁɑ̃.pli.ʁe/ - Syllable division: rem-pli-rais. Similar suffix "-rais". Stress on the final syllable.

These words all share the "-rais" conditional ending, resulting in the same stress pattern. The differences in syllable division stem from the initial consonant clusters and vowel sequences.
