6. Edge Case Review:

Dutch allows for complex consonant clusters, which can sometimes pose challenges in syllabification. However, in this case, the clusters are relatively standard and follow established rules. The "-uit" sequence is a common Dutch diphthong and is treated as a single syllable unit.

7. Grammatical Role:

The word functions primarily as a noun. While theoretically, a verbal construction could be formed around re-integratie, the noun form is far more common. Syllabification and stress remain consistent regardless of potential grammatical variations.

8. Definition & Semantics:

9. Phonological Comparison:

• 'arbeidsongeschiktheidsuitkeringen' (disability benefits): ar-beids-on-ge-schikt-heids-uit-ke-rin-gen. Similar structure with multiple suffixes and consonant clusters. Stress pattern is also similar, falling on the penultimate syllable of the root.
• 'werkwijze' (method of working): werk-wij-ze. Simpler structure, but demonstrates the vowel-based syllabification rule.
• 'verantwoordelijkheid' (responsibility): ver-ant-woor-de-lijk-heid. Demonstrates the handling of consonant clusters and the stress pattern on the penultimate syllable.

10. Division Rules:

• Vowel-Based Syllabification: Each vowel sound generally forms the nucleus of a syllable.
• Consonant Cluster Handling: Consonant clusters are generally maintained within a syllable unless they are easily separable by a vowel sound.
• Morpheme Boundaries: Morpheme boundaries often coincide with syllable boundaries, but not always.
• Stress Placement: Primary stress typically falls on the penultimate syllable, but can be influenced by morphological structure.

11. Special Considerations:

The compound nature of the word requires careful consideration of morpheme boundaries. The "-uit" sequence is a common Dutch diphthong and is treated as a single syllable unit. Regional variations in pronunciation might affect the precise realization of vowel sounds, but not the core syllabification.
