6. Edge Case Review: French syllabification generally follows the principle of maximizing onsets, but vowel hiatus and consonant clusters can create complexities. The "gu" cluster is a potential point of variation, but is generally treated as a single onset.

• grandiriez (would grow): gran-di-riez. Similar structure, conditional ending. Stress on the final syllable.

The consistent stress pattern on the final syllable in these words demonstrates the typical French stress rule. The syllable division is also consistent, following the vowel-consonant pattern. The difference in the initial syllables reflects the different consonant clusters.

10. Division Rules:

• Rule 1: Open Syllables: Syllables ending in a vowel are generally open (e.g., "en", "or", "riez").
• Rule 2: Consonant Clusters: Consonant clusters are generally broken after the first consonant if it creates a pronounceable onset (e.g., "gr" in "orgueil").
• Rule 3: Vowel Hiatus: Vowel sequences are generally separated into distinct syllables (e.g., "i" and "riez").
• Rule 4: Final Syllable Stress: Stress typically falls on the final syllable of a word or phrase.

11. Special Considerations: The "gu" cluster is treated as a single onset, despite being two letters. This is a common pattern in French. The nasal vowel /ɑ̃/ in "en" is a characteristic feature of French phonology.

12. Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations: While the standard pronunciation is /ɑ̃.ʁɔ.ɡœj.i.ʁje/, some regional variations might exist in the pronunciation of the vowel sounds, but these variations would not significantly alter the syllable division.
