• realistica: /re.aˈli.sti.ka/ - Syllable division: re-a-li-sti-ca. Shares the "-istica" suffix. Stress falls on the antepenultimate syllable. This difference in stress is due to the different root structure and vowel qualities.

10. Division Rules:

• Rule 1: Consonant Clusters: Consonant clusters are generally maintained within a syllable (e.g., sp, tt).
• Rule 2: Vowel-Consonant-Vowel: Syllables are often formed around a vowel, with consonants surrounding it (e.g., pro, ti, ca).
• Rule 3: Penultimate Stress: Italian words ending in a vowel, n, or s are generally stressed on the penultimate syllable.

11. Special Considerations:

The "-istica" suffix can sometimes pose challenges due to its length and the potential for misinterpreting syllable boundaries. However, the standard rule of maintaining consonant clusters and vowel-consonant-vowel patterns applies consistently.
