6. Edge Case Review:

Russian syllabification can be tricky with consonant clusters. The rule generally favors breaking clusters after the most sonorous consonant. Vowel reduction (akan'ye/okan'ye) also affects pronunciation but doesn't change the orthographic syllable division.

7. Grammatical Role:

The word is an adjective in the genitive singular masculine/neuter form. Syllabification remains consistent regardless of case or gender.

8. Definition & Semantics:

• Definition: Relating to cooperation between governments.
• Translation: Intergovernmental
• Grammatical Category: Adjective
• Synonyms: международный (international), общегосударственный (all-state)
• Antonyms: внутренний (internal), односторонний (unilateral)
• Examples:
  • "межправительственное соглашение" (intergovernmental agreement)
  • "межправительственная комиссия" (intergovernmental commission)

9. Phonological Comparison:

• правительство (government): пра-ви-тель-ство - Similar syllable structure, stress on the second syllable.
• ответственного (responsible): от-вет-ствен-ного - Similar suffix structure (-ственн-), stress pattern.
• управительного (administrative): у-пра-ви-тель-ного - Shares the "правитель" root, similar syllabification.

The differences in syllable division arise from the prefixes and initial consonants. "меж-" adds a syllable, and the initial consonant clusters influence the first syllable's structure.

10. Division Rules:

• Rule 1: Open Syllable Principle: Russian prefers open syllables (CV). This drives many divisions.
• Rule 2: Sonority Hierarchy: When breaking consonant clusters, the division usually occurs after the most sonorous consonant.
• Rule 3: Vowel-Consonant Division: Syllables are generally formed around vowels.
• Rule 4: Prefix/Suffix Separation: Prefixes and suffixes generally form separate syllables.

11. Special Considerations:

The long consonant "нн" in "-ственн-" can sometimes be simplified in pronunciation, but the orthographic representation maintains the double consonant.

12. Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations:

While the standard pronunciation is as transcribed, some regional variations in vowel reduction might occur. However, these variations do not significantly alter the syllable division.
