3. Morphemic Analysis:

6. Edge Case Review:

The double 'n' in "proportion" and the subsequent 'n' in the suffix create a potential for assimilation or elision in rapid speech, but the syllabification remains consistent. The imperfect subjunctive ending "-asses" is relatively common and doesn't present unique syllabification challenges.

7. Grammatical Role:

The word is a verb form (imperfect subjunctive, 3rd person plural). Syllabification doesn't significantly shift based on grammatical role, though the stress remains on the final syllable regardless.
