9. Phonological Comparison:

• "sous-estimer" (to underestimate): sou-ses-ti-mer. Similar prefix "sous-", but different root. Syllable division follows the same vowel-centric pattern.
• "exploiter" (to exploit): ex-ploi-ter. The root is the same, but without the prefix and suffix, demonstrating the core syllable structure.
• "surveillerez" (you will watch over): sur-vei-lle-rez. Similar future tense ending "-erez", and a prefix. The syllable division is consistent with the pattern observed in "sous-exploiterez".

10. Syllable Division Rules Applied:

• Rule 1: Vowel-centric Syllabification: Each vowel sound generally forms the nucleus of a syllable.
• Rule 2: Consonant Cluster Division: Consonant clusters are divided based on sonority, with more sonorous sounds tending to attach to the following vowel.
• Rule 3: Prefix/Suffix Separation: Prefixes and suffixes are generally treated as separate syllables.

11. Special Considerations:

The "x" in "exploit" is a potential point of variation, as it can represent /ks/ or /z/ depending on the context. Here, it's /z/ due to the following vowel.

12. Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations:

Pronunciation of the "s" in "sous" can vary slightly depending on regional accents, but this doesn't affect the syllabification.
