6. Edge Case Review:

Italian syllabification generally avoids leaving a single consonant between vowels. This rule is followed here. The presence of the double 'l' in "illu-" doesn't create a syllable break between them.

7. Grammatical Role:

"Illuminotecnico" primarily functions as a masculine noun (an illuminotecnico - a lighting technician). As an adjective, it would agree in gender and number with the noun it modifies. Syllabification and stress remain consistent regardless of grammatical role.

• "sociotecnico" (/so.t͡ʃo.teˈkni.ko/): Very similar structure, sharing the "-tecnico" ending. Stress pattern identical.
• "economicotecnico" (/e.ko.no.mi.ko.teˈkni.ko/): Longer, but maintains the same syllable division principles and stress pattern on the penultimate syllable of the "-tecnico" portion.

10. Division Rules:

• Rule 1: Vowel-Consonant Division: Syllables are generally divided after vowels (e.g., il-lu-mi).
• Rule 2: Consonant Cluster Division: Consonant clusters are split according to sonority, but Italian prefers to keep clusters intact if possible (e.g., tec-ni-co).
• Rule 3: Avoid Single Intervocalic Consonant: A single consonant between vowels usually joins the stronger vowel (not applicable here).
• Rule 4: Double Consonant Rule: Double consonants are not split (e.g., illu-mi).

11. Special Considerations:

The compound nature of the word doesn't alter the standard syllabification rules. The word is relatively straightforward in terms of phonological complexity.

12. Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations:

While standard Italian pronunciation is consistent, slight regional variations in vowel quality might exist, but these wouldn't affect syllable division.
