11. Special Considerations:

The 'r' sound in French is a uvular fricative, which can be challenging for non-native speakers. However, this doesn't affect the syllabification. The word's length and the presence of the "tion" cluster require careful consideration to ensure accurate division.

12. Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations:

While the standard pronunciation is as described above, some regional variations might exist in the articulation of the 'r' sound. However, these variations do not typically alter the syllabification.
