8. Definition & Semantics:

• Definition: Favoring, propitious, well-disposed.
• Translation: Favorable, advantageous.
• Part of Speech: Adjective (past active participle)
• Synonyms: помогающий (pomogayushchiy - helping), способствующий (sposobstvuyushchiy - contributing)
• Antonyms: препятствующий (prepyatstvuyushchiy - hindering)
• Examples:
  • "Благоприятствовавший фактор" (Blagopriyatstvovavshiy faktor) - "The favorable factor."

9. Phonological Comparison:

• благодарный (blagodarnyy) - /bləɡɐˈdarnɨj/ - 4 syllables. Similar prefix "благо-", but different root and suffix.

The syllable structure in "благоприятствовавший" is more complex due to the longer root and the interfix "-ва-", leading to a greater number of syllables compared to the other words.

11. Division Rules:

• Maximizing Onsets: Russian prefers to place consonants at the beginning of syllables whenever possible.

12. Special Considerations:

The "вш" cluster in the participle suffix is a common area for slight variations in pronunciation and syllabification, but the presented division is standard.

13. Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations:

While the standard pronunciation is as transcribed, some regional variations might exhibit slight vowel reductions or palatalization differences. These variations would not significantly alter the syllable division.
