9. Phonological Comparison:

• учительницах (uchitel'nitsakh) – "of female teachers": у-чи-тель-ни-цах. Similar structure with agentive suffix '-тель' and feminine suffix '-ниц'. Stress pattern is also similar.
• врачихах (vrachikhakh) – "of female doctors": вра-чи-хах. Shorter, but shares the feminine suffix '-ха' and a similar ending.
• строительницах (stroitel'nitsakh) – "of female builders": стро-и-тель-ни-цах. Similar structure with agentive suffix '-тель' and feminine suffix '-ниц'.

The differences in syllable division arise from the different consonant clusters and vowel sequences in the roots of each word.

10. Division Rules:

• Onset Maximization: Consonants are generally assigned to the following vowel to create a valid onset.
• Vowel Center: Each syllable must contain a vowel.
• Consonant Cluster Resolution: Consonant clusters are broken up in a way that minimizes the number of syllables and respects phonotactic constraints.

11. Special Considerations:

The palatalization of consonants before 'е' (e.g., 'дело') influences pronunciation but doesn't directly affect syllabification. The genitive plural ending '-ах' is a common source of syllabification challenges, but in this case, it's clearly a separate syllable.

12. Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations:

While the standard pronunciation is as transcribed, some regional variations might exhibit slight vowel reduction in unstressed syllables. This wouldn't significantly alter the syllable division.
