3. Morphemic Analysis:

• Prefix: syn- (Greek origin, meaning "together, with") - Prefix indicating a joining or combining action.

6. Edge Case Review:

The "th" cluster is a potential edge case, but in French, it's treated as a single unit for syllabification purposes. The "r" is a typical French rhotic and doesn't create a syllable break on its own.

7. Grammatical Role:

The word is exclusively a verb. Syllabification doesn't change based on grammatical role as it's a conjugated verb form.

8. Definition & Semantics:

• Translation: To synthesize
• Grammatical Category: Verb (conditional, first-person plural)
• Synonyms: composer, élaborer, combiner

The syllable division is consistent across these words, demonstrating the application of the same rules regarding vowel-based division and consonant cluster treatment.

10. Division Rules:

• Rule 1: Vowel-Based Syllabification: Each vowel sound generally forms the nucleus of a syllable.
• Rule 2: Consonant Cluster Treatment: Consonant clusters are generally kept together within a syllable unless they are complex and contain a sonorant consonant.
• Rule 3: Final Syllable Stress: Stress typically falls on the final syllable of a word or phrase.

11. Special Considerations:

The nasal vowel /ɛ̃/ in the first syllable is a characteristic feature of French phonology and doesn't affect the syllabification process. The "th" cluster is treated as a single unit.

12. Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations:

There are minimal regional variations in the pronunciation of this word. Liaison with a following vowel sound is common, potentially blurring the syllable boundary between "synthétiserions" and the next word.
