10. Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations:

Regional variations in vowel reduction (akan'ye vs. okan'ye) might affect the precise pronunciation of unstressed vowels, but not the syllable division.

11. Phonological Comparison:

• биологического (biologicheskogo) - /bʲɪləˈɡʲit͡ɕɪskəvə/ - Syllables: би-о-ло-ги-чес-ко-го. Similar structure, stress on the penultimate syllable.
