8. Definition & Semantics:

• Definition: First-person plural imperfect subjunctive of "rengager".

• Antonyms: "nous nous désengagerions" (we would disengage)
• Examples: "Si nous avions le temps, nous rengageassions volontiers." (If we had the time, we would gladly re-engage.)

9. Phonological Comparison:

• passage: pa-ssaʒ (similar vowel sequences, but simpler structure)
• message: mɛ-saʒ (similar ending, but lacks the prefix and infix)

The complexity of "rengageassions" arises from the prefix, infix, and the multiple vowel sounds, creating a longer and more intricate syllable structure compared to these simpler words.

• Rule 4: Final Syllable Stress: French typically stresses the final syllable.
