6. Edge Case Review:

Dutch allows for some flexibility in syllabification, particularly with consonant clusters. However, the division presented here adheres to the principle of maximizing onsets (consonant-vowel combinations) and avoiding stranded consonants.

7. Grammatical Role:

The word is primarily a noun. Syllabification remains consistent regardless of grammatical function, as the orthography doesn't change.

8. Definition & Semantics:

• Definition: The results of calculations; outcomes of computations.
• Grammatical Category: Noun (plural)
• Translation: Calculation results
• Synonyms: resultaten, uitkomsten
• Antonyms: invoer (input), gegevens (data)
• Examples:
  • "De berekeningsuitkomsten waren onverwacht." (The calculation results were unexpected.)
  • "We analyseerden de berekeningsuitkomsten zorgvuldig." (We carefully analyzed the calculation results.)

9. Phonological Comparison:

• 'berekening' (calculation): be-re-ke-ning. Similar structure, stress on the antepenultimate syllable.
• 'uitkomsten' (results): uit-kom-sten. Shares the final portion of the target word, demonstrating consistent syllabification of '-uit-kom-sten'.
• 'berekeningsmethode' (calculation method): be-re-ke-nings-me-tho-de. Longer word, but maintains the same syllabification principles for the 'berekening' portion.

10. Division Rules:

• Vowel Peak: Each syllable must contain a vowel sound.
• Onset Maximization: Consonants are assigned to the following vowel to create onsets whenever possible.
• Consonant Cluster Handling: Consonant clusters are generally kept together within a syllable unless they are easily separable based on sonority.
• Morpheme Boundaries: Syllable boundaries often align with morpheme boundaries, but this is not a strict rule.

11. Special Considerations:

The 'ng' cluster in 'berekenings' is treated as a single unit, as it represents a single phoneme /ŋ/ in Dutch. The 'uit' prefix is often pronounced as a single syllable.

12. Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations:

Regional variations in pronunciation might affect the precise realization of vowels, but the core syllabification remains consistent. Some speakers might slightly reduce vowels in unstressed syllables.
