3. Morphemic Analysis:

• em-: Prefix (Latin origin, meaning 'in', 'within'). Functions to create a verb.
• brouill-: Root (Old French broillier, meaning 'to confuse, to stir up'). The root carries the core semantic meaning.

5. Phonetic Transcription: /ɑ̃.bʁu.ja.sje/

6. Edge Case Review: The consonant cluster "br" is a common initial cluster in French and doesn't typically cause syllable division issues. The nasal vowel /ɑ̃/ in the first syllable is a standard feature of French phonology. The "ll" is pronounced as a single palatal lateral /ʎ/.

7. Grammatical Role: "Embrouillassiez" is the 2nd person plural imperfect subjunctive of the verb "embrouiller" (to confuse, to mess up). The syllabification remains consistent regardless of the verb's tense or mood.

• "rouillassiez": rouil-las-siez (similar syllable structure, stress on the final syllable)

The syllable division in these words is consistent, demonstrating the application of the same rules regarding vowel-based division and consonant cluster handling. The presence of nasal vowels and palatal laterals doesn't alter the fundamental syllabification process.
