10. Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations:

While the standard pronunciation is as transcribed, some regional variations might exhibit slight vowel reductions or palatalization differences. However, these variations generally do not affect the core syllabification.

11. Phonological Comparison:

The syllable division in all these words follows the same principles: vowel nuclei forming syllables, permissible consonant clusters, and stress placement influencing vowel quality. The length of the word and the complexity of the suffixes are the main differences.
