The word "systématisâmes" is a conjugated form of the verb "systématiser" (to systematize). Pronunciation involves careful attention to liaison and elision possibilities, though these don't directly affect the core syllabification. The 's' at the end of 'systé' is pronounced, and the 'â' indicates a mid-open back unrounded vowel.

2. Syllable Division:

Following French syllabification rules, which prioritize vowel sounds, the word divides as follows (using only original letters):

3. Morphemic Analysis:

• Prefix: sys- (Greek origin, meaning 'with, together'). Function: Forms a compound.
• Root: témat- (Greek origin, from thema meaning 'theme, arrangement'). Function: Core meaning related to arrangement or order.

5. Phonetic Transcription:

/sis.te.ma.ti.za.me/

6. Syllable List with IPA and Rule Explanations:

• sy- /si/ - Open syllable. Rule: Syllables are formed around vowel sounds. No consonant clusters prevent separation.
• sté- /ste/ - Closed syllable. Rule: Consonant 's' followed by vowel 't' and 'é' forms a syllable.
• ma- /ma/ - Open syllable. Rule: Vowel 'a' forms a syllable.
• ti- /ti/ - Closed syllable. Rule: Consonant 't' followed by vowel 'i' forms a syllable.
• sâ- /sa/ - Open syllable. Rule: Vowel 'â' forms a syllable.
• mes /me/ - Closed syllable. Rule: Vowel 'e' followed by consonant 's' forms a syllable.

7. Syllable Division Rules Applied:

• Vowel-centric Syllabification: French syllabification primarily focuses on vowels. Each vowel sound generally forms the nucleus of a syllable.
• Consonant Clusters: Consonant clusters are broken up based on sonority, but in this word, the clusters are relatively simple and follow vowel sounds.
• Final Consonants: Final consonants generally belong to the preceding syllable unless they initiate a liaison.

8. Exceptions and Special Cases:

The 's' before 't' in 'systé' could potentially be considered part of the following syllable in some analyses, but the standard approach is to separate it due to the vowel sound following it.

9. Grammatical Role:

"Systématisâmes" is exclusively the 1st person plural past historic form of the verb "systématiser". The syllabification and stress remain consistent regardless of grammatical function, as it's a conjugated verb form.

• Synonyms: organisâmes, structurâmes
