10. Division Rules:

• Rule 1: Consonant Clusters: Consonant clusters are generally broken according to sonority hierarchy, but in Italian, many clusters remain within a syllable (e.g., gl in galleg).
• Rule 2: Vowel Hiatus/Diphthongs: Italian generally avoids vowel hiatus. Diphthongs are treated as single syllables.
• Rule 3: Stress-Based Syllabification: Stress often influences syllable boundaries, particularly in longer words.
• Rule 4: Prefix/Suffix Separation: Prefixes and suffixes are generally separated into distinct syllables.

11. Special Considerations:

The "gg" digraph is a common feature of Italian and is treated as a single phoneme /d͡ʒ/. The future tense ending "-anno" is a standard inflectional pattern.

12. Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations:

Regional variations in vowel pronunciation might exist, but they generally don't affect syllable division. Some southern dialects might slightly alter the pronunciation of the /d͡ʒ/ sound.
