3. Avoid Single Intervocalic Consonant Rule: French avoids leaving a single consonant between vowels.

Special Considerations:

• The nasal vowels /ɔ̃/ and /ɛ̃/ are common in French and do not affect syllabification rules.
• The pronunciation of 'r' as a uvular fricative doesn't impact syllable division.
• The word follows standard French syllabification patterns without any significant exceptions.

Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations:

While the standard pronunciation is /kɔ̃.vyl.sjɔ̃.ne.ʁa/, some regional variations might exist in the pronunciation of the 'r' sound (e.g., alveolar trill in some southern regions), but these do not alter the syllable division.
