• Vowel-Based Division: Syllables are primarily divided around vowel sounds.

The compound nature of the word doesn't introduce any exceptional syllabification rules. The Latinate origins of the morphemes are reflected in the pronunciation, but don't alter the core syllabification principles.

12. Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations:

While the standard pronunciation is as transcribed above, some regional variations might exist in vowel quality or stress placement, but these are unlikely to significantly alter the syllable division.
