3. Morphemic Analysis:

• Prefix: ri- (Latin re- meaning "again, back"). Function: Reduplication.
• Root: mastica- (from Latin masticare meaning "to chew"). Function: Core meaning of the verb.
• Suffix: -re- (infinitive marker). Function: Forms the infinitive.

6. Edge Case Review:

Italian syllabification generally favors open syllables (ending in a vowel). The sequence "st" is a common initial consonant cluster, and is treated as a single unit for syllabification purposes. The double consonant "mm" is also treated as a single unit.

7. Grammatical Role:

The word is exclusively a verb form. Syllabification and stress remain consistent regardless of its function within a sentence.

8. Definition & Semantics:

• Definition: "We would have re-chewed/gone over." It implies a repeated consideration or revisiting of something.
• Part of Speech: Verb (Conditional Past, 1st person plural)
• Translation: "We would have re-chewed/gone over"
• Synonyms: "avremmo rimasticato", "avremmo rielaborato" (we would have re-elaborated)
• Antonyms: "avremmo ignorato" (we would have ignored)
• Examples:
  • "Se avessimo più tempo, rimasticheremmo quella proposta." (If we had more time, we would have re-examined that proposal.)

9. Phonological Comparison:

• "rimangiate" (you [plural, formal] ate/remained): ri-man-gia-te. Similar prefix ri-, but different root. Stress on the penultimate syllable.
• "rimembranza" (remembrance): ri-mem-bran-za. Similar prefix ri-, but a noun. Stress on the antepenultimate syllable.
• "masticheremmo" (we would chew): mas-ti-che-rem-mo. Shares the root mastica-. Stress on the penultimate syllable.

The differences in stress placement are due to the varying length and structure of the words, and the application of Italian stress rules (penultimate syllable unless exceptions apply).

10. Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations:

Regional variations in vowel pronunciation might exist, but they wouldn't significantly alter the syllabification.

11. Syllable Division Rules Applied:

• Rule 1: Vowel-Consonant Division: Syllables are typically divided between vowels and consonants (e.g., ma-sti).
• Rule 2: Consonant Cluster Division: Consonant clusters are often kept together within a syllable, especially initial clusters (e.g., ri-ma).
• Rule 3: Open Syllable Preference: Italian favors open syllables, influencing how consonant clusters are resolved.
• Rule 4: Stress-Related Syllabification: Stress can influence the perception of syllable boundaries, but doesn't change the written division.
