grammatic
From Latin 'grammaticus', meaning 'grammatical'. Lexical prefix.
alis
From Latin 'alis', relating to, of the nature of. Part of the root.
iser-ent

Vowel-based Syllabification
Each vowel sound generally forms the nucleus of a syllable. This is the primary rule applied throughout the word.
Avoid Breaking Consonant Clusters
Consonant clusters are kept together unless they are complex and difficult to pronounce. The 'nt' cluster in 'sent' is maintained.
- The sequence 'lis' could potentially be ambiguous, but the clear pronunciation of the vowel 'i' creates a distinct syllable.
- The nasal vowel /ɑ̃/ does not pose a syllabification issue.
