• invraisemblable: /ɛ̃.vʁɛ̃.sɑ̃.blabl/ - Syllable division: in-vrai-sem-bla-ble. Demonstrates a more complex consonant cluster handling, but still adheres to vowel-centric syllabification.

10. Syllable Division Rules Applied:

• Rule 1: Vowel-Centric Syllabification: Each vowel sound generally forms the nucleus of a syllable.
• Rule 2: Consonant Cluster Handling: Consonant clusters are generally kept together unless they are complex and difficult to pronounce.
• Rule 3: Final Syllable Stress: Stress typically falls on the final syllable.

11. Special Considerations:

The nasal vowel /ɛ̃/ in the first syllable is a characteristic feature of French phonology and doesn't affect the syllabification process.

12. Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations:

While the standard pronunciation is as given above, slight regional variations in vowel quality might exist, but these do not alter the syllable division.
