3. Morphemic Analysis:

• Prefix: extra- (Latin origin, meaning "outside," "beyond") - functions as an intensifier or to indicate something beyond the norm.

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. This is observed in the division of atmosferic.

7. Grammatical Role:

"Extraatmosferic" primarily functions as an adjective. While it could theoretically be used attributively in a noun phrase, its syllabification and stress remain consistent regardless of its grammatical function.

8. Definition & Semantics:

• Definition: Relating to or existing outside the Earth's atmosphere.
• Translation: Extra-atmospheric (English)
• Grammatical Category: Adjective
• Synonyms: spațial (spatial), cosmic
• Antonyms: atmosferic (atmospheric)
• Examples:
  • "Misiunea a explorat spațiul extraatmosferic." (The mission explored extra-atmospheric space.)
  • "Fenomenele extraatmosferice sunt studiate de fizicieni." (Extra-atmospheric phenomena are studied by physicists.)

9. Phonological Comparison:

• atmosferă (atmosphere): a-tmos-fe-ră. Similar structure, stress on the penultimate syllable.
• electric (electric): e-lec-tric. Similar vowel-consonant alternation, stress on the last syllable.
• magnetic (magnetic): ma-gne-tic. Similar consonant clusters and vowel patterns, stress on the last syllable.

The differences in stress placement are due to the length of the word and the presence of the prefix extra-. Longer words in Romanian tend to have stress further from the end.

10. Division Rules:

• Vowel-Based Division: Syllables are generally formed around vowels.
• Consonant Cluster Resolution: Consonant clusters are broken up in a way that minimizes syllable onset complexity.
• Avoid Single Initial Consonants: Avoid starting a syllable with a single consonant if possible, especially after a vowel.

11. Special Considerations:

The prefix extra- is a relatively common prefix in Romanian, and its integration into the word doesn't pose any unusual syllabification challenges. The consonant cluster str is treated as a single unit for syllabification purposes.

12. Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations:

While the standard pronunciation is as given above, some regional variations might exist in vowel quality or stress intensity, but these would not significantly alter the syllable division.
