Following French syllabification rules, which prioritize vowel sounds and avoid breaking consonant clusters unless they are complex, the word divides as follows (using only original letters):

3. Morphemic Analysis:

• Prefix: trans- (Latin, meaning "across," "through") - Prefixes in French often modify the verb's meaning.

5. Phonetic Transcription:

/tʁɑ̃.sy.dɛ.ʁɛ̃t/

6. Syllable Breakdown & Rule Application:

Here's a detailed breakdown of each syllable, with IPA transcription, rule application, and potential exceptions:

• tran-: /tʁɑ̃/ - Open syllable. Rule: Syllables are formed around vowel sounds. The 'n' is syllabic, forming its own syllable. Exception: The nasal vowel /ɑ̃/ can sometimes lead to more complex syllabification considerations, but here it's straightforward.
• -sy-: /sy/ - Open syllable. Rule: Vowel follows a consonant.
• -dé-: /de/ - Open syllable. Rule: Vowel follows a consonant.
• -re-: /ʁɛ̃/ - Closed syllable. Rule: Consonant follows a vowel. The nasal vowel /ɛ̃/ is a key feature.
• -raient: /ʁɛ̃t/ - Closed syllable. Rule: Consonant follows a vowel. This is the stressed syllable.

7. Edge Case Review:

The consonant cluster "tr" is generally not broken in French syllabification. The nasal vowels /ɑ̃/ and /ɛ̃/ are common in French and don't present unusual syllabification challenges in this word.

8. Grammatical Role:

"Transsuderaient" is exclusively a verb form (conditional tense, 3rd person plural). Syllabification doesn't significantly shift based on grammatical role, as the core structure remains consistent.
