• Rule 3: Stress Placement: Stress typically falls on the penultimate syllable unless otherwise indicated by accent marks.

12. Special Considerations: The silent 'h' in "sbiancherebbero" is a common feature in Italian and doesn't affect the syllable count but influences pronunciation and the initial consonant cluster division.
