Suffix Separation
Suffixes are generally treated as separate syllables, especially when they contain vowels, as seen with '-ului'.
- The compound nature of the word requires considering the syllabification of each component separately.
- The definite article suffix '-ul' is always treated as a separate syllable.
- Regional variations in vowel pronunciation might slightly affect the phonetic transcription, but not the syllable division.
