3. Morphemic Analysis:

Detailed Syllable Analysis:

Exceptions/Special Cases (Word-Level):

• The "fja" cluster is a common but potentially ambiguous point in syllabification. The rule of maximizing onsets applies here, keeping the "f" with the "i".
• The nasal vowel /ɔ̃/ in "sions" creates a unique syllable structure.

Division Rules Applied:

1. Maximize Onsets: Consonants are generally assigned to the following vowel to create onsets whenever possible.
2. Vowel-Consonant Syllabification: Each vowel followed by a consonant typically forms a syllable.
3. Nasal Vowel Syllabification: Nasal vowels often constitute their own syllable.

Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations:

While the standard pronunciation is /eg.zɑ̃.pli.fja.sjɔ̃/, some regional variations might slightly alter vowel quality or stress, but the syllable division remains consistent.
