5. Syllable Division Rules Applied:

• Onset-Rhyme Principle: The most fundamental rule, dividing syllables based on the presence of a vowel nucleus.
• Sonority Sequencing Principle: Consonant clusters are resolved based on sonority, with more sonorous sounds tending to be in the rhyme.
• Vowel as Syllable Nucleus: Single vowels form their own syllables.
• Polish Syllable Structure: Polish allows for complex consonant clusters in both the onset and coda.

6. Exceptions/Special Cases:

• The affricate /d͡ʑ/ is treated as a single onset.
• The diphthong /uu̯/ is treated as a single rhyme.
• The palatal nasal /ɲ/ is a relatively uncommon onset, but permissible in Polish.

7. Word-Level Exceptions:

The length of the word and the number of inflectional suffixes create a complex structure. The stress pattern is influenced by both the penultimate rule and the morphological weight of the suffixes.

8. Grammatical Role & Syllabification:

The word is an adjective in the instrumental masculine singular case. Syllabification remains consistent regardless of case or gender, though stress could shift slightly in other forms, but not significantly enough to alter the syllable division.

9. Definition & Semantics:

  • "thirty-three and a half years old"
  • Translation: "thirty-three and a half years old"

• Examples: "Mężczyzna był czterdziestotrzyipółletnim lekarzem." (The man was a thirty-three and a half-year-old doctor.)

10. Regional Variations:

Minor variations in pronunciation might occur regionally, particularly in vowel quality, but these would not significantly affect syllable division.

11. Phonological Comparison:

• dwudziestodwuletni (twenty-two years old): dvu-dzie-sto-dvu-let-ni. Similar structure with numeral components and suffixes.
• pięćdziesięciolatków (fifty-year-olds): pje-ńd͡ʑe-śję-cio-la-tów. Similar complex consonant clusters and suffixation.
• trzydziestopięcioletni (thirty-five years old): t͡ʂɨ-dzie-ścio-pje-ńcio-let-ni. Similar numeral structure and suffixation.

The differences in syllable division arise from the specific consonant clusters and vowel sequences within each word, but the underlying principles remain consistent.
