6. Edge Case Review:

The consonant cluster "vr" is a potential point of division, but in French, it's generally kept together within a syllable. The "illon" sequence also requires careful consideration, but it's treated as a single unit due to the nasal vowel.

7. Grammatical Role:

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

9. Phonological Comparison:

• "gravillonner": gra-vil-lon-ner. Similar syllable structure, demonstrating the consistent treatment of "vr" and "illon".
• "dégravillonner": de-gra-vil-lon-ner. The addition of the prefix "dé-" simply adds a leading syllable.
• "pavillonner": pa-vil-lon-ner. Similar structure with the "-illon-" sequence, showing consistent syllabification.

10. Syllable Analysis & Rules:

The following rules were applied:

• Rule 1: Open Syllable Preference: French favors open syllables (ending in a vowel). Syllables are formed to maximize open syllables.
• Rule 2: Consonant Cluster Preservation: Consonant clusters are generally kept together within a syllable unless they are easily separable by a vowel sound.
• Rule 3: Vowel-Based Division: Syllables are primarily divided around vowel sounds.
• Rule 4: Nasal Vowel Consideration: Nasal vowels (like in "illon") form a single syllable unit.

11. Special Considerations:

The initial "é-" is a clitic vowel and is treated as a separate syllable. The "vr" cluster is a common occurrence in French and is not typically broken.
