3. Morphemic Analysis:

6. Edge Case Review:

The consonant cluster "-rs-" is a potential point of consideration. However, in French, this cluster is generally treated as a single unit within a syllable, especially when followed by a vowel. The nasal vowel /ɔ̃/ in the final syllable is also a typical feature of French and doesn't pose a syllabification challenge.

7. Grammatical Role:

• Grammatical Category: Noun (feminine)
