3. Morphemic Analysis:

• Prefix: ex- (Latin, meaning "out of," "from") - functions to change the verb's meaning.

6. Edge Case Review:

Romanian syllabification generally favors open syllables (ending in a vowel). However, consonant clusters are common, and the rules prioritize maintaining consonant clusters within a syllable where possible. The 'ex' initial cluster is a common exception, often treated as a single onset.

7. Grammatical Role:

The word is a noun in the genitive/dative case, feminine singular. The syllabification remains consistent regardless of its function within a sentence.

8. Definition & Semantics:

• Definition: The one to whom something was expropriated; of the one who was expropriated.
• Translation: Of the expropriated one.
• Grammatical Category: Noun (feminine, singular, genitive/dative)
• Synonyms: (Context-dependent) - None direct, as it's a derived form.
• Antonyms: (Context-dependent) - Of the owner.
• Examples: "Drepturile expropriatoarei au fost încălcate." (The rights of the expropriated one were violated.)

9. Phonological Comparison:

• administratorului: a-dmi-nis-tra-tor-u-lui - Similar complex structure with multiple suffixes. Stress falls on the penultimate syllable.
• universității: u-ni-ver-si-tă-ții - Similar ending with "-i" indicating genitive/dative. Stress falls on the antepenultimate syllable.
• participanților: par-ti-ci-pan-ți-lor - Another complex noun with multiple suffixes. Stress falls on the antepenultimate syllable.

The differences in stress placement are due to the varying number of syllables and the specific vowel patterns within each word. Romanian stress is generally penultimate, but exceptions occur with longer words.

10. Division Rules:

• Rule 1: Vowel-Initial Syllables: Each vowel generally begins a new syllable.
• Rule 2: Consonant Clusters: Consonant clusters are maintained within a syllable as much as possible.
• Rule 3: Penultimate Stress: Primary stress typically falls on the penultimate syllable.
• Rule 4: Prefix/Suffix Separation: Prefixes and suffixes generally form separate syllables.

11. Special Considerations:

The 'ex' initial cluster is often treated as a single onset, despite being two consonants. The vowel 'a' is pronounced as /a/ in this word.

12. Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations:

Minor regional variations in vowel pronunciation might exist, but they wouldn't significantly alter the syllabification.
