• Grammatical Category: Adjective
• Synonyms: медицинский (meditsinskiy - medical), диагностический (diagnosticheskiy - diagnostic)
• Antonyms: None directly applicable.
• Examples: врачебно-консультационный кабинет (vrachebno-konsul'tatsionnyy kabinet - medical consultation room), врачебно-консультационный центр (vrachebno-konsul'tatsionnyy tsentr - medical consultation center).

9. Phonological Comparison:

• медицинский (meditsinskiy): ме-ди-цин-ский (me-di-tsin-skiy). Similar syllable structure, stress on the penultimate syllable.
• диагностический (diagnosticheskiy): ди-аг-но-сти-че-ский (di-ag-no-sti-che-skiy). More syllables, but follows the same principle of maximizing onsets.
• фармацевтический (farmatsevticheskiy): фар-ма-цев-ти-че-ский (far-ma-tsev-ti-che-skiy). Similar complex structure with multiple suffixes, stress pattern is also similar.

Division Rules:

1. Onset Maximization: Consonants are generally assigned to the following vowel to create an onset.
2. Vowel Center: Each syllable must contain a vowel.
3. Consonant Clusters: Clusters are split based on sonority hierarchy, with less sonorous consonants preceding more sonorous ones.
4. Morphological Boundaries: Syllable breaks often align with morpheme boundaries, but this is not a strict rule.

Special Considerations:

• The linking vowel "-о-" is a common feature in Russian compound words and is always a separate syllable.
• The palatalization of consonants before "е" and "и" affects pronunciation but doesn't directly influence syllabification.
• Vowel reduction in unstressed syllables is a significant phonetic feature but doesn't alter the orthographic syllable division.
