The key difference lies in the prefixes, which add syllables to the beginning of the word. The core syllable structure of disciplinar remains consistent across all these words.

10. Division Rules:

• Rule 1: Vowel-Initial Syllables: Each vowel generally begins a new syllable. (e.g., mo-no-dis-ci-pli-nar)
• Rule 2: Consonant Clusters: Consonant clusters are generally maintained within a syllable unless they are difficult to pronounce. (e.g., dis-ci-pli-nar maintains the 'sc' cluster).
• Rule 3: Maximizing Onsets: Romanian tends to maximize onsets (consonants at the beginning of a syllable) when possible.

11. Special Considerations:

The suffix -ar can sometimes cause slight variations in pronunciation depending on regional accents, but the syllable division remains consistent.
