8. Definition & Semantics:

• Definition: Extremely small, so small as to be visible only with an ultramicroscope.
• Grammatical Category: Adjective (прилагательное)
• Translation: Ultramicroscopic
• Synonyms: чрезвычайно малый (chrezvychayno malyy - extremely small), невидимый невооружённым глазом (nevidimyy nevooruzhennym glazom - invisible to the naked eye)
• Antonyms: крупный (krupnyy - large), видимый (vidimyy - visible)
• Examples:
  • "Ультрамикроскопические частицы." ("Ultramicroscopic particles.")
  • "Этот объект слишком мал, чтобы быть видимым даже в ультрамикроскопическое." ("This object is too small to be visible even with an ultramicroscope.")

9. Phonological Comparison:

• микроволновка (mikrovolnovka - microwave oven): ми-кро-вол-нов-ка. Similar structure with "микро-", but simpler syllable division due to fewer consonant clusters.
• телескопический (teleskopicheskiy - telescopic): те-ле-ско-пи-че-ский. Shares the "-скопический" suffix, demonstrating consistent syllabification of this morpheme.
• фотокопирование (fotokopirovaniye - photocopying): фо-то-ко-пи-ро-ва-ни-е. Contains a similar root ("копи-") and suffix structure, showing consistent syllabification patterns.

10. Division Rules:

• Rule 1: Open Syllable Preference: Russian favors syllables ending in vowels.
• Rule 2: Sonority Hierarchy: Consonants are grouped into onsets based on their sonority, with more sonorous consonants tending to form syllable nuclei.
• Rule 3: Consonant Cluster Resolution: Complex consonant clusters are broken up to create permissible syllable structures, often by placing consonants into the onset of the following syllable.

11. Special Considerations:

The word's length and complex morphology present a challenge for syllabification. The presence of loanword elements (ultra-, micro-) influences the phonetic realization and potentially the ease of syllabification for native speakers.

12. Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations:

While the standard pronunciation is as transcribed, some regional variations might exhibit slight vowel reductions or palatalization differences. These variations would not significantly alter the syllable division.
