8. Definition & Semantics:

• Part of Speech: Verb

• Antonyms: obstruerai, boucherai
• Examples: "Je décongestionnerai le nez de mon enfant." (I will decongest my child's nose.)

9. Phonological Comparison:

• comparaison: décongestionné (past participle): dé-con-ges-tion-né. Syllable division is similar, reflecting the shared root.
• comparaison: congestion (noun): con-ges-tion. The absence of the future tense ending simplifies the syllable structure.
• comparaison: décongestionnement (noun): dé-con-ges-tion-ne-ment. The addition of the "-ment" suffix adds an extra syllable, but the core syllable structure remains consistent.

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 easily pronounceable as separate syllables (which is not the case here).
• Rule 3: Final Syllable Stress: French generally stresses the final syllable.

11. Special Considerations:

The nasal vowel /ɔ̃/ in "con-" requires careful consideration. It forms a distinct syllable. The "gn" cluster is treated as a single consonant sound.
