10. Division Rules:

• Rule 1: Open Syllables: Syllables ending in a vowel are generally open (e.g., dé-).
• 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., clér-).
• Rule 3: Vowel Sequences: Vowel sequences are typically divided into separate syllables (e.g., li-se-).
• Rule 4: Stress and Syllabification: Stress can influence perceived syllable boundaries, but doesn't dictate them.

11. Special Considerations:

The presence of the "r" sound can sometimes create ambiguity, but in this case, it's integrated into the syllable cli-. The schwa sound in the final syllable is common and doesn't affect the syllabification.

12. Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations:

While the pronunciation is relatively standard, some regional variations might involve a slightly more pronounced schwa in the final syllable. This wouldn't alter the syllabification, however.
