9. Phonological Comparison:

• Verantwoordelijkheid (responsibility): ver-an-t-woor-de-lijk-heid. Similar complex morphology and stress pattern.

• Onduidelijkheid (unclarity): on-duid-e-lijk-heid. Shows the prefix and suffix combination.

These words share similar morphological structures and stress patterns, highlighting the consistency of Dutch syllabification rules. The differences in syllable division arise from the specific consonant and vowel sequences within each word.

10. Division Rules:

• Onset Maximization: Dutch prefers to include as many consonants as possible in the onset of a syllable (e.g., sl in aansluit).
• Vowel-Centric Syllables: Each syllable generally contains one vowel sound.
• Schwa Reduction: Unstressed vowels often reduce to schwa /ə/ (though this doesn't directly affect syllabification).
• Compound Word Syllabification: Dutch often treats compound words as a sequence of syllables from individual morphemes.

11. Special Considerations:

The "sch" cluster is treated as a single unit for syllabification purposes. The vowel length can influence perceived syllable boundaries. Regional variations in pronunciation might affect the precise realization of vowel sounds, but not the core syllabification.
