• attribuer: a-tri-bu-er (similar syllable structure in the root, differing in the prefix)

The syllable structure is consistent across these words, demonstrating the regular application of French syllabification rules. The key difference lies in the suffixes, which determine the word's grammatical function and pronunciation.

11. Division Rules:

• Vowel-Based Syllabification: French prioritizes vowel sounds when dividing syllables. Each vowel sound generally forms the nucleus of a syllable.
• Consonant Cluster Handling: Consonant clusters are generally kept together within a syllable unless they can be naturally separated by pronunciation.
• Avoid Single-Consonant Syllables: French avoids creating syllables consisting of only a single consonant unless it's a sonorant (l, m, n, r).

12. Special Considerations:

The "r" sound in French is often uvular, which can influence the perception of syllable boundaries. However, for syllabification purposes, it's treated as a consonant within the syllable.
