10. Division Rules:

• Rule 1: Vowel-Consonant Division: Syllables are typically divided between vowels and consonants (e.g., so-vven-).
• Rule 2: Consonant Cluster Division: When a consonant cluster occurs between vowels, the cluster is often split, but maintaining the original letters (e.g., ven-zio-).
• Rule 3: Stress-Based Division: Stress influences the perception of syllable boundaries, but doesn't alter the written syllable division.
• Rule 4: Prefix/Suffix Separation: Prefixes and suffixes are generally treated as separate syllables.

11. Special Considerations:

The "sov-" prefix can sometimes be considered a clitic, but in this case, it's fully integrated into the word and follows standard syllabification rules. Regional variations in pronunciation might affect vowel quality, but not syllable division.
