3. Morphemic Analysis:

• Prefix: over- (Dutch, meaning "over," "across," "exceeding") - functions as a prefix indicating a crossing or exceeding action.
• Root: branche (French origin, via Dutch, meaning "branch") - the core concept of the word.

10. Division Rules:

• Vowel-centric: Syllables are built around vowel sounds.
• Consonant Cluster Preservation: Consonant clusters are generally kept together within a syllable, unless they are easily separable (e.g., a single consonant between vowels).
• Diphthong Integrity: Diphthongs are not split across syllable boundaries.
