• Root: somigliare (Latin similis 'like' + -are infinitive ending) - meaning "to resemble".

6. Edge Case Review: Italian syllable structure generally follows the principle that every syllable must have a vowel. Consonant clusters are permissible, but are often broken up by vowels. The geminate 'll' presents a slight complexity, but is treated as a single consonant sound within the syllable.

7. Grammatical Role: "Dissomigliarono" is the 3rd person plural past historic indicative of the verb dissomigliare (to not resemble). The syllabification and stress remain consistent regardless of the verb's conjugation.

• "assomigliarono": as-so-mi-glia-ro-no. Similar structure, stress on the penultimate syllable. The initial consonant differs, but the core syllable structure remains the same.
• "parlarono": par-la-ro-no. A simpler verb conjugation, but demonstrates the typical Italian syllable structure with vowel-consonant alternation. The stress pattern is also similar (penultimate syllable).
