6. Edge Case Review:

The consonant cluster "chr" is a common initial cluster in French and doesn't pose a significant syllabification challenge. The nasal vowel in "christian" is also standard. The final "-isée" is a common suffix and follows regular pronunciation patterns.

10. Division Rules:

• Rule 1: Vowel-Based Syllabification: Each vowel sound generally forms the nucleus of a syllable.
• Rule 2: Consonant Cluster Handling: Consonant clusters are generally kept together within a syllable unless they are complex or interrupt a natural vowel sequence.
• Rule 3: Final Syllable Stress: Stress typically falls on the final syllable of a word.

11. Special Considerations:

The 're-' prefix is often treated as a separate syllable, but can also be cliticized to the root in rapid speech. The pronunciation of the 'r' as a uvular fricative is a characteristic of standard French.
