5. Syllable Division Rule Explanations:

• Open Syllable Preference: Polish favors open syllables (CV structure) whenever possible.
• Consonant Cluster Rule: Consonant clusters generally remain within a syllable, closing it if they occur at the end.
• Vowel-Consonant-Vowel (VCV) Rule: In sequences like VCV, the syllable division usually occurs between the vowels.
• Nasal Vowel Rule: Nasal vowels (ą, ę) often influence the preceding consonant's pronunciation and syllable structure.

6. Exceptions/Special Cases per Syllable:

• The nasal vowels ę create complex pronunciations and can sometimes lead to ambiguity in syllable division, but in this case, they clearly belong to the syllable they are in.
• Palatalization of consonants (e.g., ć, ś, ć) affects pronunciation but doesn't alter the basic syllable division.

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

• The length of the word and the presence of multiple consonant clusters make it a challenging case for syllabification. However, the rules consistently apply.
• The word's complex morphology requires careful consideration of morpheme boundaries, but these do not directly dictate syllable division.

8. Grammatical Role & Syllabification Shifts:

The word is an adjective in the genitive singular masculine/neuter form. If it were in a different case or number, the ending would change, potentially affecting the final syllable. For example, the nominative singular masculine form is "niedziewięćdziesięciominutowy", which would change the final syllable to "-wy". However, the core syllable structure of the rest of the word would remain the same.

9. Definition & Semantics:

10. Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations:

11. Phonological Comparison:
