Hyphenation ofremmancherions

Analysis of "remmancherions" (French)

1. Pronunciation & Initial Examination:

The word "remmancherions" is the first-person plural conditional present of the verb "remmancher" (to re-graft, to re-handle). It's a relatively complex word due to its verb conjugation and the presence of geminate consonants. The pronunciation will be key to accurate syllabification.

2. Syllable Division:

Following French syllabification rules, which prioritize vowel sounds and avoid breaking consonant clusters where possible, the division will be: re-mman-che-rions.

3. Morphemic Analysis:

• Prefix: re- (Latin, meaning "again," "back"). Morphological function: aspectual prefix, indicating repetition.
• Root: manche- (Latin manica, meaning "sleeve," but in this context related to handling or grafting). Morphological function: verb stem.
• Suffix: -er (Latin, infinitive marker) + -ions (French conditional present ending, 1st person plural). Morphological function: verb inflection.

4. Stress Identification:

The primary stress in French typically falls on the last syllable of the word, unless that syllable contains a schwa (ə). In this case, the stress falls on "-rions".

5. Phonetic Transcription:

/ʁə.mɑ̃.ʃə.ʁjɔ̃/

6. Edge Case Review:

The geminate consonant "mm" presents a slight edge case. French generally avoids breaking up consonant clusters within a syllable, so "mm" remains together.

7. Grammatical Role:

"Remmancherions" is exclusively a verb form. Syllabification doesn't shift based on grammatical role as it's a conjugated verb.

8. Definition & Semantics:

• Definition: To re-graft, to re-handle, to re-equip.
• Grammatical Category: Verb (conditional present, 1st person plural)
• Translation: We would re-graft/re-handle/re-equip.
• Synonyms: rééquiperions, refaire (in some contexts)
• Antonyms: démancherions (though this isn't a common antonym)
• Examples: "Nous remmancherions les outils si nécessaire." (We would re-handle the tools if necessary.)

9. Phonological Comparison:

• actionnerions: a-c-tio-nne-rions. Similar structure with a verb stem and conditional ending. The consonant clusters are different, but the overall pattern is comparable.
• annoncerions: a-non-ce-rions. Similar ending, but a simpler consonant structure.
• remplacerions: rem-pla-ce-rions. Similar prefix and conditional ending, but a different root. The "pl" cluster is easier to syllabify than "mm".

Detailed Syllable Analysis:

• re-: /ʁə/ - Open syllable. Rule: Syllables are formed around vowel sounds. Exception: The 'r' is a semi-vowel and can begin a syllable.
• mman-: /mɑ̃/ - Closed syllable. Rule: Consonant clusters are kept together unless they are unpronounceable. Exception: Geminate consonants are allowed within a syllable.
• che-: /ʃə/ - Open syllable. Rule: Vowel sound dictates syllable break.
• rions: /ʁjɔ̃/ - Closed syllable. Rule: Final consonant(s) close the syllable. Exception: The 'r' is a semi-vowel and can end a syllable.

Potential Exceptions/Special Cases:

• The geminate "mm" could theoretically be split in some highly theoretical analyses, but this is not standard French syllabification.
• Regional variations in pronunciation might slightly alter the perceived syllable boundaries, but the core division remains consistent.

Division Rules Applied:

1. Vowel-centric Syllabification: Syllables are built around vowel sounds.
2. Consonant Cluster Preservation: Consonant clusters are generally kept intact within a syllable.
3. Semi-vowel Handling: Semi-vowels (like 'r') can begin or end syllables.
