3. Morphemic Analysis:

• Prefix: re- (Latin origin, meaning "again," "back"). Morphological function: aspectual prefix.

5. Phonetic Transcription:

/ʁə.kɔ̃.sti.ty.ɑ̃/

6. Edge Case Review:

The "tu" sequence can sometimes be tricky, but in this case, it's treated as a single syllable due to the vowel-consonant-vowel structure. The nasal vowel /ɔ̃/ is a common feature of French and doesn't pose a syllabification challenge.

7. Grammatical Role:

"Reconstituantes" is the present participle of the verb "reconstituer". As a present participle, it can function as an adjective or part of a verb phrase (e.g., "Ils sont reconstituantes" - They are reconstituting). Syllabification remains consistent regardless of grammatical function.
