9. Phonological Comparison:

• "particuleraient" (would particularize): dé-par-ti-cu-lè-raient. Similar structure, but with a different root. Syllable division follows the same vowel-centric rules.
• "réarticuleraient" (would rearticulate): ré-ar-ti-cu-lè-raient. The addition of the prefix "ré-" adds an initial syllable.

10. Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations:

While the standard pronunciation is as given above, some regional variations might exist in the realization of the /ʁ/ sound (uvular vs. alveolar trill). This doesn't significantly affect syllable division.

11. Division Rules:

• Rule 1: Open Syllables: Syllables ending in a vowel are generally open (e.g., "dé", "a", "lè").
• Rule 2: Consonant Clusters: Consonant clusters are maintained within a syllable unless they are interruptive (e.g., "art", "lè").
• Rule 3: Liaison: Liaison creates a new syllable boundary where a consonant at the end of one word links to a vowel at the beginning of the next (e.g., "dés-ar").
• Rule 4: Final Syllable Stress: Stress typically falls on the final syllable.
