The syllable division in all these words follows the same principles: consonant clusters are broken according to sonority, and the verb endings are consistently separated. The differences in syllable count arise from the varying vowel and consonant sequences within the root.

10. Division Rules:

• Rule 1: Sonority Sequencing: Consonant clusters are broken based on sonority (increasing sonority within a syllable). This applies to "sb-", "gl-", and other consonant combinations.
• Rule 2: Vowel Nucleus: Each syllable must have a vowel nucleus.
• Rule 3: Final Syllable Rule: If a word ends in a consonant, that consonant typically forms the final syllable.
• Rule 4: Double Consonant Rule: Double consonants are generally split, with one consonant going to each adjacent syllable.

11. Special Considerations:

The "gl" cluster can be pronounced differently in various Italian dialects, potentially affecting the perceived syllable boundary. However, the written form dictates the syllabification.

12. Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations:

Regional variations in the pronunciation of "gl" (e.g., /ʎ/ vs. /ʎ/) might subtly alter the perceived syllable boundaries, but the orthographic syllabification remains consistent.
