• be- - Prefix. Origin: Germanic. Function: Forms a verbal noun or adjective, often indicating action or state related to the root. In this case, it's part of the verb-derived noun.

6. Edge Case Review:

The 'té' in 'komité' is a potential edge case, as the 'é' is a closed vowel and could theoretically lead to different syllabification in some analyses. However, the standard practice is to treat it as a single syllable. The 'be-' prefix is also a potential area for variation, but it's generally treated as a separate syllable.

7. Grammatical Role:

The word is primarily a noun. Syllabification and stress remain consistent regardless of its grammatical function within a sentence.
