Hyphenation ofeffilochassions

Analysis of "effilochassions" (French)

1. Pronunciation & Initial Examination:

The word "effilochassions" is a verb in the first person plural imperfect subjunctive. It's derived from "effilocher" (to shred, to fray). The pronunciation involves several consonant clusters and nasal vowels, typical of French.

2. Syllable Division:

Following French syllabification rules, which prioritize vowel sounds and avoid breaking consonant clusters unless they are pronounceable as separate syllables, the division is as follows (detailed in the JSON output).

3. Morphemic Analysis:

• Prefix: ef- (from Latin ex- meaning "out, from") - contributes to the meaning of unraveling.
• Root: fil- (from Latin filum meaning "thread") - the core meaning relating to fine strands.
• Suffix: -och- (from Old French oche - a diminutive suffix, indicating a small or delicate action)
• Suffix: -ass- (from Latin -at- forming the first person plural imperfect subjunctive)
• Suffix: -ions (first person plural present indicative/subjunctive ending)

4. Stress Identification:

French generally has stress on the final syllable of a phrase or word. In this case, the stress falls on "-sions".

5. Phonetic Transcription:

/e.fi.lɔ.ʃa.sjɔ̃/

6. Edge Case Review:

The consonant cluster "ch" is treated as a single phoneme /ʃ/ and thus remains within a syllable. The nasal vowel /ɔ̃/ is a common feature of French and doesn't affect syllable division.

7. Grammatical Role:

As a verb form, the syllabification remains consistent. If "effilochassions" were hypothetically used as a noun (which is not standard), the stress would likely remain on the final syllable, and the syllabification would not change.

8. Definition & Semantics:

• Definition: First person plural imperfect subjunctive of "effilocher" - to shred, fray, or unravel.
• Translation: We would shred/fray/unravel.
• Part of Speech: Verb (Imperfect Subjunctive)
• Synonyms: défaire, déchiqueter (to tear, shred)
• Antonyms: assembler, tisser (to assemble, weave)
• Examples: "Si nous effilochassions les arguments, nous pourrions trouver la vérité." (If we were to unravel the arguments, we could find the truth.)

9. Phonological Comparison:

• comparaison: (comparison) - /kɔ̃.pa.ʁɔ̃/ - 3 syllables. Similar nasal vowel structure.
• information: (information) - /ɛ̃.fɔʁ.ma.sjɔ̃/ - 4 syllables. Similar ending "-sion" with nasal vowel.
• occasion: (occasion) - /ɔ.ka.zjɔ̃/ - 3 syllables. Similar ending "-sion" with nasal vowel.

The syllable division in "effilochassions" is more complex due to the initial consonant cluster and the diminutive suffix "-och-", leading to a five-syllable structure, while the others have fewer syllables.

10. Division Rules:

• Rule 1: Open Syllables: Syllables ending in a vowel are generally open (e.g., "fi-", "ʃa-").
• Rule 2: Consonant Clusters: Consonant clusters are kept together unless they can be easily separated by a vowel sound (e.g., "eff-", "chass-").
• Rule 3: Vowel Groupings: Vowel groupings are treated as a single syllable (e.g., "lo-").
• Rule 4: Final Syllable Stress: Stress typically falls on the final syllable.

11. Special Considerations:

The "ch" digraph is treated as a single phoneme, influencing the syllable division. The nasal vowel /ɔ̃/ doesn't create a syllable break.

12. Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations:

There are minimal regional variations in the pronunciation of this word. However, some speakers might slightly reduce the vowel sounds in unstressed syllables. This wouldn't significantly alter the syllable division.
