9. Phonological Comparison:

• "parlare" (to speak): pa-rla-re. Similar vowel structure, but simpler consonant clusters.
• "segnalare" (to signal): se-gna-la-re. Shares the root "segnal-", demonstrating consistent syllabification of this morpheme.
• "comprendere" (to understand): com-pren-de-re. Demonstrates the handling of consonant clusters at syllable boundaries.

10. Syllable Analysis & Rules:

Division Rules Applied:

1. Consonant + Vowel: The most basic rule, where a consonant is followed by a vowel, creating a syllable boundary.
2. Consonant Cluster Treatment: Italian treats certain consonant clusters (like "gn") as single phonemes, influencing syllabification.
3. Avoid Single Intervocalic Consonant: Italian avoids leaving a single consonant between vowels.

Special Considerations:

The "gn" cluster requires special attention, as it's a single phoneme in Italian and is not split across syllables. The conditional ending "-emmo" is a common suffix and its syllabification is standard.
