These words demonstrate a consistent pattern of stress placement and syllabification in Dutch words with similar morphological structures. The length of the word and the presence of multiple suffixes contribute to the antepenultimate stress.

10. Division Rules:

• Vowel-centric Syllabification: Each syllable contains a vowel sound.
• Consonant Cluster Handling: Consonant clusters are generally maintained within a syllable unless they are easily separable by a vowel.
• Diphthong Preservation: Diphthongs are not split across syllable boundaries.
• Prefix/Suffix Boundaries: Syllable division often occurs at prefix/suffix boundaries.

11. Special Considerations:

The 'rb' cluster in bewoonbaar is a potential point of variation, but it's consistently treated as a single unit within the syllable in standard Dutch. Regional variations in pronunciation might affect the realization of certain vowel sounds, but not the core syllabification.
