3. Morphemic Analysis:

• Prefix: ge- (Dutch, prefix forming nouns from verbs, often indicating a state or quality)
• Root: voel (Dutch, from Proto-Germanic felaną, meaning "to feel")
• Suffix: -stemperatuur-en (Dutch, compound suffix. -stemperatuur is a compound of stem (stem, origin) and temperatuur (temperature, from Latin temperatura). -en is the plural marker for nouns.)

/ɣəˈvulsˌtɛm.pə.ra.tʏ.rən/

6. Edge Case Review:

Dutch allows for complex consonant clusters, and the "voel" root presents a potential challenge. However, the vowel sequence dictates the primary syllable breaks. The 'st' cluster is permissible at the beginning of a syllable.

7. Grammatical Role:

"gevoelstemperaturen" is exclusively a noun. As such, the syllabification remains consistent regardless of its grammatical function within a sentence.

8. Definition & Semantics:

• Definition: Temperatures perceived through feeling or sensation.
• Translation: Feeling temperatures, sensory temperatures.
• Grammatical Category: Noun (plural)
• Synonyms: sensatietemperatuur (sensation temperature)
• Antonyms: gemeten temperatuur (measured temperature)
• Examples:
  • "De piloot vertrouwde op zijn gevoelstemperaturen om ijsvorming te detecteren." (The pilot relied on his feeling temperatures to detect icing.)
  • "De arts onderzocht de gevoelstemperaturen van de patiënt." (The doctor examined the patient's sensory temperatures.)

9. Phonological Comparison:

• voorkomen: /voːrˈkoːmə(n)/ - Syllables: voor-ko-men. Similar vowel structure, but with a prefix. Stress on the second syllable.
• temperatuur: /tɛm.pə.ra.ˈtʏr/ - Syllables: tem-pe-ra-tuur. Shares the temperatuur component. Stress on the third syllable.
• gevoeligheid: /ɣəˈvɛ.ləɣ.hɛit/ - Syllables: ge-voe-li-gheid. Shares the gevoel- root. Stress on the second syllable.

The differences in stress placement are due to the varying length and complexity of the words. The presence of prefixes and suffixes also influences stress.

10. Division Rules:

• Vowel-Based Division: Syllables are generally formed around vowel sounds.
• Consonant Cluster Rule: Consonant clusters are maintained within a syllable as long as they are pronounceable.
• Compound Word Rule: Compound words are divided based on the individual morphemes.

11. Special Considerations:

The 'st' cluster in stemperatuur is a common initial consonant cluster in Dutch and doesn't pose a syllabification issue. The vowel reduction in unstressed syllables is a typical feature of Dutch phonology.
