3. Morphemic Analysis:

• Prefix: ri- (Latin re- meaning "again, back"). Function: Reduplication, indicating repetition or reversal of the action.
• Root: spegn- (from Latin exstingvere meaning "to extinguish"). Function: Core meaning of the verb.

Italian syllabification generally avoids leaving a single consonant between vowels. This rule is observed in this word. The gn cluster is treated as a single unit for syllabification purposes.

8. Definition & Semantics:

The consistent stress pattern on the penultimate syllable in these verbs highlights a common feature of Italian verb conjugation. The syllable structure is also similar, with a combination of open and closed syllables.

10. Division Rules:

• Rule 1: Vowel-Consonant-Vowel: Syllables are typically divided between vowels. (e.g., ri-speg-)
• Rule 2: Consonant Clusters: Consonant clusters are generally maintained within a syllable unless they can be broken up by a vowel. (e.g., gn remains together in speg-)
• Rule 3: Penultimate Stress: Italian words are often stressed on the penultimate syllable.
• Rule 4: Avoid Single Intervocalic Consonant: A single consonant between vowels usually goes with the following vowel.

11. Special Considerations:

The gn cluster is a palatal nasal and is treated as a single phoneme for syllabification. The conditional ending -ebbero is a complex morpheme that requires careful consideration during analysis.

12. Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations:

While standard Italian pronunciation is generally consistent, some regional variations might exist in vowel quality or the articulation of certain consonants. However, these variations typically do not affect the syllabification.
