3. Morphemic Analysis:

5. Phonetic Transcription:

/a.u.to.mis.ti.fiˈka.re/

6. Edge Case Review:

Romanian syllabification generally avoids leaving a single consonant at the beginning of a syllable unless it's part of a consonant cluster. The 'm' in 'mistifica' is followed by a vowel, so it naturally forms its own syllable.

7. Grammatical Role:

"Automistificare" is exclusively a verb in the infinitive form. As such, the syllabification and stress remain consistent. If conjugated, stress might shift, but the syllable division would adapt accordingly based on the new form.

8. Definition & Semantics:

• Definition: To misrepresent oneself, to distort the truth about oneself, to deceive.
• Grammatical Category: Verb (infinitive)
• Translation: To misrepresent oneself
• Synonyms: a denatura, a falsifica, a înșela (to distort, to falsify, to deceive)
• Antonyms: a lămuri, a explica (to clarify, to explain)

  • "A încercat să se automistifice pentru a obține un avantaj." (He tried to misrepresent himself to gain an advantage.)

9. Phonological Comparison:

• similar word 1: automatizare (automation) - au-to-ma-ti-za-re. Similar syllable structure, stress on the antepenultimate syllable.
• similar word 2: mistificare (misrepresentation) - mis-ti-fi-ca-re. Shares the root 'mistifica', demonstrating consistent syllabification of this component.
• similar word 3: modificare (modification) - mo-di-fi-ca-re. Similar suffix '-re' and syllable structure, stress on the antepenultimate syllable.

The differences in syllable division arise from the prefixes and initial consonant clusters, but the core syllable structure around the root and suffix remains consistent.

10. Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations:

While standard Romanian pronunciation is relatively uniform, slight variations in vowel quality might occur regionally. These variations wouldn't significantly alter the syllable division.

11. Division Rules Applied:

• Vowel-centric Syllabification: Each vowel generally forms the nucleus of a syllable.
• Consonant Cluster Resolution: Consonant clusters are broken up based on sonority, with less sonorous consonants tending to attach to the following syllable.
• Avoidance of Single-Consonant Syllables: Romanian avoids syllables consisting of only a single consonant unless it's part of a cluster.
