Syllable Analysis & Rules Applied:

Division Rules:

1. Sonority Sequencing Principle: Consonants are ordered by decreasing sonority within a syllable.
2. Onset Maximization: Syllables prefer to have as many consonants in the onset as possible, respecting sonority.
3. Vowel as Nucleus: Each syllable must have a vowel nucleus.

Special Considerations:

• Vowel reduction in unstressed syllables is a significant factor in pronunciation and perceived syllable boundaries.
• The consonant cluster "spr" in the second syllable requires careful consideration of sonority.
• The final syllable "-му" is a case ending and is always a separate syllable.

Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations:

While the standard pronunciation is as transcribed, slight variations in vowel quality and palatalization may occur depending on regional accents. These variations generally do not affect syllable division.
