5. Syllable Division Rules Applied:

• Onset-Rhyme Principle: Syllables are formed around a vowel nucleus, with preceding consonants forming the onset and following consonants forming the coda.
• Consonant Cluster Permissibility: Polish allows complex consonant clusters in both the onset and coda of syllables.
• Sonority Sequencing Principle: Within a consonant cluster, consonants tend to be ordered by decreasing sonority (vowels > glides > liquids > nasals > fricatives > stops).
• Palatalization: Palatalized consonants form syllable onsets.

6. Exceptions/Special Cases per Syllable:

• The syllable dź is an example of a palatalized consonant forming a syllable onset.
• The syllable pół contains a diphthong, which is a common feature in Polish.
• The syllable ni contains a palatal nasal consonant.

7. Exceptions/Special Cases for the Word as a Whole:

• The length of the word and the presence of multiple suffixes create a complex morphological structure, which can influence stress placement.
• The connecting vowel o is a morphological feature specific to numeral formations.

8. Grammatical Role & Syllabification Shifts:

The word is an adjective. If it were a noun (unlikely in this form), the syllabification would remain the same, but the stress pattern might shift slightly depending on the case and number.

9. Definition & Semantics:

• Part of Speech: Adjective
• Definitions:
  • Definition: "Forty-three and a half years old"
  • Translation: "Forty-three and a half years old"
  • Synonyms: None readily available due to the specificity of the age.
  • Antonyms: Young, youthful.
  • Examples: "Ten czterdziestotrzyipółletniemu mężczyzna wyglądał bardzo młodo." (This forty-three-and-a-half-year-old man looked very young.)
• Grammatical Category: Adjective, dative singular masculine.

10. Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations:

Regional variations in pronunciation might affect the realization of certain vowels or consonants, but the basic syllabification would likely remain consistent. Some speakers might slightly reduce the vowel in unstressed syllables.

11. Phonological Comparison:

• dwadzieścia (twenty) - /dvaˈd͡ʑɛɕt͡ɕa/ - Syllabification: dwa-dzie-ścia. Similar structure with numeral components and consonant clusters.
• pięćdziesiąt (fifty) - /pjɛɲˈd͡ʑɛɕat/ - Syllabification: pięć-dzie-siąt. Similar structure with numeral components and consonant clusters.
• siedemdziesiąt (seventy) - /ɕɛˈdɛm.d͡ʑɛˈɕat/ - Syllabification: sie-dem-dzie-siąt. Similar structure with numeral components and consonant clusters.

The syllable division in all these words follows the same principles of onset-rhyme structure and consonant cluster permissibility. The differences lie in the specific consonants and vowels used, reflecting the different numeral bases.
