3. Morphemic Analysis:

• Prefix: электро- (elektro-) - From Greek "elektron" meaning amber, referring to electricity. Function: Denotes the use of electrical means.

5. Phonetic Transcription:

/ɪlʲɪkˈtrɐrʲɪnˈtɡʲɪnɐˈɡramːəm/

6. Edge Case Review:

The long sequence of consonants (нтгено) presents a potential challenge, but Russian allows for relatively long consonant clusters within a syllable, especially when followed by a vowel. The vowel 'о' in 'но' forms a syllable on its own.

7. Grammatical Role:

The word is a noun, specifically in the instrumental case, singular. The case ending "-м" doesn't significantly alter the syllabification, as it's a single morpheme attached to the stem.

8. Definition & Semantics:

• Definition: An X-ray image; a radiograph.
• Translation: X-ray image, radiogram
• Grammatical Category: Noun (masculine, inanimate)
• Synonyms: рентгеновский снимок (rentgenovskiy snimok - X-ray picture), радиографический снимок (radiograficheskiy snimok - radiographic image)
• Antonyms: (None directly applicable, as it's a specific type of image)
• Examples:
  • "Врач изучил электрорентгенограмму." (The doctor studied the X-ray image.)
  • "Электрорентгенограмма показала перелом." (The X-ray image showed a fracture.)

9. Phonological Comparison:

• электрокардиограмма (elektrokardiogramma): э-лек-тро-кар-ди-о-гра́м-ма. Similar syllable structure, stress on the penultimate syllable.

• фотограмма (fotogramma): фо-то-гра́м-ма. Shares the "-грамма" suffix. Stress on the third syllable.

The differences in syllable division are primarily due to the varying prefixes and roots, but the consistent application of vowel-centric syllabification and the handling of consonant clusters remain the same.

10. Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations:

While the standard pronunciation is as transcribed, some regional variations might exhibit slight vowel reduction in unstressed syllables. However, this doesn't affect the core syllabification.

11. Division Rules Applied:

• Vowel-Centric Syllabification: Each syllable contains at least one vowel.
• Consonant Cluster Handling: Consonant clusters are maintained within a syllable unless they are exceptionally long or difficult to pronounce.
• Moraic Weight: Russian doesn't have a strict moraic system, but syllable weight influences stress placement.
• Stress-Based Syllabification: Stress placement influences the perceived boundaries between syllables.
