3. Morphemic Analysis:

9. Phonological Comparison:

Division Rules Applied:

• Onset Maximization: Syllables attempt to include as many initial consonants as possible.
• Vowel Center: Each syllable must contain a vowel sound.
• Consonant Cluster Resolution: Complex consonant clusters are broken up based on sonority hierarchy, but with a preference for maintaining onsets.
