• Rule 2: Consonant Cluster Handling: Consonant clusters are kept together within a syllable unless they are complex (e.g., str-).
• Rule 3: Liaison: Liaison creates a bridge between syllables, influencing pronunciation but not necessarily syllabification.
• Rule 4: Stress-Based Shift: Stress on the penultimate syllable due to a schwa in the final syllable.

11. Special Considerations:

The presence of the schwa in the final syllable influences stress placement. The liaison between dés- and affectionnerions is a standard phonetic feature.
