10. Division Rules:

• Rule 1: Open Syllable Preference: Romanian favors open syllables (CV). This is why "ter-" is a syllable on its own.
• Rule 2: Consonant Cluster Resolution: When consonant clusters occur, they are often broken up to create more easily pronounceable syllables.

11. Special Considerations:

The "-le" suffix is a common definite article marker and is always a separate syllable. The "ativ" suffix is also a relatively stable unit.
