The syllable structure is consistent across these words, with the prefix and root generally forming separate syllables. The stress pattern on the penultimate syllable is also common in Italian verbs.

10. Division Rules:

• Rule 1: Vowel-Consonant-Vowel: Syllables are typically divided between vowels. (e.g., ri-pro)
• Rule 2: Consonant Clusters: Consonant clusters are generally maintained within a syllable unless they can be easily split based on sonority. (e.g., pro-te)
• Rule 3: Penultimate Stress: Italian words often have stress on the penultimate syllable, influencing syllable perception.
• Rule 4: Avoid Single Intervocalic Consonant: A single consonant between vowels is usually attached to the following vowel.

11. Special Considerations:

The double 't' in 'protest' doesn't affect the syllabification. The conditional ending '-ste' is a common pattern and doesn't present any unusual challenges.

While the standard pronunciation is /ri.pro.teˈste.re.ste/, some regional variations might exhibit slight differences in vowel quality or stress intensity, but the syllable division remains consistent.
