Following French syllabification rules, which prioritize vowel sounds and avoid breaking consonant clusters unless they are complex, the division is as follows (using only the original letters):

3. Morphemic Analysis:

• Prefix: pro- (Latin, meaning "for," "forward," or "in favor of") - modifies the verb's meaning.
• Root: létar- (from prolétaire - Latin proletarius, meaning "belonging to the proletariat," originally "producing offspring") - the core meaning related to the working class.
• Suffix: -iser- (French verbal suffix, from Latin -izare), indicating verb formation (to make something into).
• Suffix: -ait (French conditional ending, third-person singular) - indicates the conditional mood.

7. Syllable Division Rules Applied:

• Vowel-centric Syllabification: French syllabification prioritizes vowels. Each vowel sound generally forms the nucleus of a syllable.
• Consonant Cluster Handling: Consonant clusters are generally kept together within a syllable unless they are complex or disrupt the natural flow of pronunciation.
• Avoidance of Single-Letter Syllables: French avoids creating syllables consisting of a single consonant.

The 'r' sound in French can sometimes create ambiguity, but in this case, it's integrated into the preceding syllable due to the following vowel.
