Following French syllabification rules, which prioritize vowel sounds and avoid breaking consonant clusters unless they are complex, the division is as follows (using only original letters):

3. Morphemic Analysis:

• Prefix: dé- (Latin origin, meaning 'removal', 'reversal'). Morphological function: negation or reversal of the action of the verb.
• Root: propan- (from propane, a chemical compound). Morphological function: indicates the chemical substance involved.
• Suffix: -iser (Latin origin, from facere 'to make'). Morphological function: verb-forming suffix, creating a transitive verb.

6. Edge Case Review:

The "r" sound in French is often uvular, and the final "ons" is a nasal vowel. The liaison between "dépropaniser" and "ons" is crucial for correct pronunciation.

7. Grammatical Role:

The word is exclusively a verb form (first-person plural future indicative of "dépropaniser"). Syllabification remains consistent regardless of its grammatical function as it is a conjugated verb.

8. Definition & Semantics:

• Grammatical Category: Verb (future indicative, first-person plural)

• Synonyms: (Context-dependent) We will degas, we will remove propane.
• Antonyms: We will propanize (hypothetical).

9. Phonological Comparison:

• comparaison: organisations (ɔʁ.ɡa.ni.za.sjɔ̃) - Similar syllable structure with vowel-consonant alternation.
• comparaison: nationaliserons (na.sjɔ.na.li.ze.ʁɔ̃) - Shares the "-iserons" ending, demonstrating consistent syllabification of this suffix.
• comparaison: dépaniserons (de.pa.ni.ze.ʁɔ̃) - Similar to the target word, differing only in the root. This highlights the consistent application of syllabification rules to the prefix and suffix.

10. Division Rules:

• Rule 1: Open Syllables: Syllables ending in a vowel are generally open (e.g., dé-, pro-, ni-, zé-, rons).
• 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., propan-).
• Rule 3: Vowel Hiatus: When two vowels are adjacent, they typically form separate syllables (e.g., dé-pa-).
• Rule 4: Final Nasal Vowels: Nasal vowels form a single syllable (e.g., rons).

11. Special Considerations:

The "r" sound in French can be challenging for non-native speakers. The pronunciation of the nasal vowel "ons" can also vary slightly depending on regional accents.

12. Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations:

While the standard pronunciation is /de.pʁɔ.pa.ni.ze.ʁɔ̃/, some regional variations might involve a slightly more open or closed pronunciation of the vowels. However, these variations do not significantly alter the syllable division.
