• schoenenzaak: /ˈsxuːnə(n)ˌzaːk/ - Syllables: schoe-nen-zaak. Similar in compound structure and stress pattern. The difference lies in the length and complexity of the root words. "textielsupermarkten" has a longer root ("textielsupermarkt") than the others.

10. Division Rules:

• Rule 1: Open Syllable Preference: Dutch favors creating open syllables (ending in a vowel) whenever possible. This is applied throughout the word.
• Rule 2: Consonant Cluster Resolution: When consonant clusters occur, they are generally split to create open syllables, but consonant blends are kept together.
• Rule 3: Compound Word Syllabification: Each component of a compound word is syllabified independently before being combined.

11. Special Considerations:

The "ie" digraph is pronounced as a diphthong /i/ in Dutch. The "e" at the end of "textiel" is pronounced. The "n" at the end of "markten" is pronounced.
