3. Morphemic Analysis:

• Prefix: manu- (Latin, meaning "hand") - indicates handling or working with hands.
• Root: ten- (Latin tenere - to hold) - core meaning of holding or keeping.

• Suffix: -niez (French, imperfect subjunctive ending for vous) - indicates the grammatical person and tense/mood.

5. Phonetic Transcription:

/ma.nœ̃.tɛ̃.sjɔ.nje/

6. Edge Case Review:

The nasal vowels /œ̃/ and /ɛ̃/ require careful consideration. The consonant clusters "nt" and "ns" are permissible within syllables in French. The final "-iez" is a common subjunctive ending and doesn't present unusual syllabification challenges.

7. Grammatical Role:

The word is exclusively a verb form. Syllabification remains consistent regardless of its function within a sentence.

8. Definition & Semantics:

• Grammatical Category: Verb (imperfect subjunctive)
• Translation: "you (plural) would handle"
• Synonyms: déplacer, manipuler, gérer
• Antonyms: négliger, abandonner
• Example: "Si vous aviez les outils nécessaires, vous manutentionniez les cartons avec précaution." (If you had the necessary tools, you would handle the boxes carefully.)

9. Phonological Comparison:

• actionner: a-c-tio-nner - Similar vowel structure, but lacks the nasal vowels.

These comparisons demonstrate that the syllabification of "manutentionniez" aligns with typical French patterns for words containing nasal vowels and the "tion" suffix. The stress pattern is also consistent with French prosody.
