6. Syllable Breakdown & Rule Application:

Here's a detailed breakdown of each syllable, with IPA transcription, rule application, and potential exceptions:

• пре (pre): /prʲɛ/ - Open syllable. Rule: Consonant clusters are broken after the first consonant if it's a sonorant or a liquid. Exception: Palatalization of /p/ to /prʲ/ due to the following /e/.
• дa (da): /ˈda/ - Open syllable. Rule: Vowel follows consonant.
• се (se): /ˈsʲe/ - Open syllable. Rule: Vowel follows consonant. Palatalization of /s/ to /sʲ/ due to the following /e/.
• да́ (dá): /ˈda/ - Stressed, open syllable. Rule: Vowel follows consonant.
• тель (tel'): /ˈtʲelʲ/ - Closed syllable. Rule: Consonant cluster at the end of the syllable. Palatalization of /t/ to /tʲ/ due to the following /e/.
