3. Morphemic Analysis:

• Prefix: re- (Latin origin, meaning "again," "back"). Morphological function: iterative or intensifying.
• Root: spons- (Latin sponsus, past participle of spondere "to pledge, to undertake"). Morphological function: core meaning related to responsibility.

6. Edge Case Review:

The sequence "s-s" is not a typical syllable break point, but it is allowed in French, especially when the first 's' is part of a root and the second is part of a suffix. The nasal vowel /ɔ̃/ in "son" is a common feature of French and doesn't present a syllabification challenge.

7. Grammatical Role:

• Rule 2: Consonant Cluster Handling: Consonant clusters are generally kept together within a syllable unless they are complex or disrupt the natural flow of pronunciation.
• Rule 3: Suffix Attachment: Suffixes are typically added to the root of a word, forming a new syllable if they contain a vowel sound.
