6. Edge Case Review:

The consonant cluster /pt/ is relatively common in Russian and doesn't pose a significant syllabification challenge. The vowel reduction in unstressed syllables is a key consideration.

• Vowel Reduction: Unstressed vowels are reduced, influencing pronunciation but not syllabification.

11. Special Considerations:

The word's length and complex morphology require careful application of syllabification rules. The presence of the borrowed root "апокалипсис" doesn't alter the standard rules.
