• Synonyms: качественный (kachestvennyy - qualitative), первоклассный (pervoklassnyy - first-class)
• Antonyms: низкокачественный (nizkokachestvennyy - low-quality), некачественный (nekachestvennyy - poor quality)

9. Phonological Comparison:

• высокий (vysokiy - high): вы-со-кий /vɨˈsokʲɪj/ - Similar syllable structure, stress on the second syllable.
• качественный (kachestvennyy - qualitative): ка-че-ст-вен-ный /kɐˈt͡ɕestvʲɪnːɨj/ - Shares the "качеств-" root, similar syllable division pattern.

10. Division Rules:

• Rule 1: Consonant-Vowel Syllabification: Each vowel typically forms the nucleus of a syllable.
• Rule 2: Maximizing Onsets: Consonant clusters are broken up to create syllables with a consonant-vowel structure whenever possible.
• Rule 3: Sonority Sequencing Principle: Within a consonant cluster, consonants are ordered by sonority (decreasing loudness).
• Rule 4: Vowel Reduction: Unstressed vowels are reduced in pronunciation (e.g., 'o' to 'a').

11. Special Considerations:

The "enn-" suffix can sometimes cause syllabification challenges, but in this case, it's treated as a single unit within the syllable. The vowel reduction in unstressed syllables is a key feature of Russian pronunciation and affects the phonetic realization of the word.

12. Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations:

While the standard pronunciation is as transcribed above, some regional variations might exhibit slight differences in vowel reduction or consonant palatalization. However, these variations generally do not affect the syllable division.
