3. Morphemic Analysis:

• omgeving: Prefix/Root - "om" (around) + "geving" (giving, related to 'geven' - to give). Origin: Germanic. Function: Indicates the surrounding or external aspect.

5. Phonetic Transcription:

/ɔmˈɣeːvɪŋstɛm.pəˈraːtyr/

6. Edge Case Review:

Dutch allows for some flexibility in syllabification, particularly with consonant clusters. However, the proposed division adheres to the principle of maximizing open syllables and avoiding overly complex syllable structures.

9. Phonological Comparison:
