• descontextualizar-nos-ão: des-con-tex-tu-a-li-zar-nos-ão. Longer, but follows the same syllabification principles, with stress on the antepenultimate syllable. The addition of the prefix "des-" simply adds another syllable at the beginning.

10. Division Rules:

• Rule 1: Vowel Groups: Vowels generally form a single syllable (e.g., tu-a).
• Rule 2: Consonant Clusters: Consonant clusters are broken according to sonority (e.g., tex-tu).
• Rule 3: Open Syllables: Syllables ending in vowels are open (e.g., a-li).
• Rule 4: Closed Syllables: Syllables ending in consonants are closed (e.g., con).
• Rule 5: Pronoun Clitics: Pronoun clitics like -nos form a separate syllable.

11. Special Considerations:

The "ão" ending presents a slight challenge due to its nasal vowel and potential for reduction. However, it consistently forms a separate syllable.
