8. Definition & Semantics:

• Part of Speech: Noun (feminine plural)

• Synonyms: télécommandes (more common), manettes (handles, sometimes used colloquially)
• Antonyms: (None directly applicable, as it's a tool)

9. Phonological Comparison:

• "télécommandes" (remote controls - singular/plural): télé-com-man-des. Similar structure, but lacks the extra "-ses" suffix. Syllabification is nearly identical.
• "téléphone" (telephone): télé-pho-ne. Shares the "télé-" prefix. Syllabification follows the same vowel-centric rules.
• "commandant" (commander): com-man-dant. Shares the "command-" root. Syllabification demonstrates how consonant clusters are handled.

10. Division Rules:

• Rule 1: Vowel-Centric Syllabification: Each vowel sound generally forms the nucleus of a syllable.
• Rule 2: Consonant Cluster Handling: Consonant clusters are generally kept together within a syllable unless they can be easily separated by a vowel sound.
• Rule 3: Final Syllable Stress: Stress typically falls on the final syllable.
• Rule 4: Liaison and Nasal Vowels: Nasal vowels influence syllable structure and pronunciation.

11. Special Considerations:

The "-ses" ending is a common feminine plural marker in French, and its syllabification is consistent. The nasal vowels /ɔ̃/ and /ɑ̃/ require careful attention to pronunciation.

12. Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations:

While the standard pronunciation is /tele.kɔ̃.mɑ̃.das/, some regional variations might exist in the articulation of nasal vowels, but these do not significantly alter the syllabification.
