3. Morphemic Analysis:

• Prefix: post- (Latin, meaning "after") - adverbial prefix.

6. Syllable Breakdown & Rule Application:

Here's a detailed breakdown of each syllable, with IPA transcription, rule application, and potential exceptions:

• post-: /ˈpɔst/ - Open syllable. Rule: Vowel followed by consonant(s). No exceptions.
• -syn-: /sɛ̃/ - Closed syllable. Rule: Vowel surrounded by consonants. Potential exception: nasal vowel can sometimes influence syllabification, but here it's clearly part of this syllable.
• -chro-: /kʁɔ/ - Open syllable. Rule: Vowel followed by consonant(s). No exceptions.
