3. Morphemic Analysis:

• Prefix: dé- (Latin origin, meaning "removal, reversal"). Function: Prefix indicating reversal or undoing of the action.

5. Phonetic Transcription:

/de.kɔ̃.ʒɛs.tɔ.ne.ʁje/

6. Edge Case Review:

The "gn" cluster is a common feature in French and is treated as a single consonant sound. The nasal vowel /ɔ̃/ requires careful consideration. The final "-iez" ending is a typical conditional marker and doesn't present unusual syllabification challenges.

7. Grammatical Role:

The word is exclusively a verb. Syllabification remains consistent regardless of its function within a sentence.

8. Definition & Semantics:

• Definition: To relieve congestion, to unclog.
• Translation: Would decongest (you all).
• Grammatical Category: Verb (Conditional, 2nd person plural)
• Synonyms: dégourdir, débloquer
• Antonyms: encombrer, obstruer
• Examples: "Si vous preniez ce médicament, vous décongestionneriez votre nez." (If you took this medicine, you would clear your nose.)

9. Phonological Comparison:

• congestionner: /kɔ̃.ʒɛs.tɔ.ne/ - Similar syllable structure, but lacks the conditional ending.
• décongestionnant: /de.kɔ̃.ʒɛs.tɔ.nɑ̃/ - Shares the prefix and root, with a different suffix.
• dérangeriez: /de.ʁɑ̃.ʒe.ʁje/ - Similar conditional ending and prefix structure, but different root.

The differences in syllable count and vowel quality are due to the varying suffixes and root vowels. The consistent application of vowel-based syllabification is maintained across these words.

10. Division Rules:

• Rule 1: Vowel-Based Syllabification: Each vowel sound generally forms the nucleus of a syllable.
• Rule 2: Consonant Cluster Handling: Consonant clusters are generally kept together within a syllable unless they are complex and disrupt the flow of pronunciation.
• Rule 3: Prefix/Suffix Boundaries: Prefixes and suffixes are often separated into distinct syllables.
• Rule 4: Nasal Vowel Consideration: Nasal vowels (/ɔ̃/, /ɑ̃/, /ɛ̃/, /œ̃/) are treated as single vowel sounds forming the nucleus of a syllable.

11. Special Considerations:

The "gn" cluster is treated as a single consonant sound, influencing syllable division. The nasal vowels require careful phonetic transcription.
