10. Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations:

Brazilian Portuguese may exhibit more vowel reduction than European Portuguese. The "a" in "ma" and "zar" might be reduced to a schwa /ə/. This doesn't change the syllabification, but affects the phonetic realization.

11. Phonological Comparison:

• organizar-lhes-emos: o-rga-ni-zar-lhes-e-mos. Similar syllable structure, stress on the penultimate syllable of the stem.

• automatizar-lhes-emos: au-to-ma-ti-zar-lhes-e-mos. Similar syllable structure, stress on the penultimate syllable of the stem.

The consistency in stress placement and syllable division across these words demonstrates the regularity of Portuguese phonological rules. The differences in initial consonant clusters (e.g., "pro-" vs. "au-") affect the initial syllable structure but do not alter the core syllabification principles.
