• университетский (universitetskiy): у-ни-ве-рси-те́т-ский. Another long adjective, stress on the fifth syllable.

The syllable structure in "физиотерапевтический" is consistent with these examples, demonstrating the typical pattern of Russian adjectives with multiple morphemes.

10. Division Rules:

• Sonority Principle: Syllables are formed around a vowel nucleus, with consonants gravitating towards the most sonorous element.

• Moraic Structure: While not strictly mora-timed, Russian syllable weight influences pronunciation and vowel reduction.

11. Special Considerations:

Vowel reduction is a significant factor in the pronunciation of unstressed syllables. The 'о' in "физио" is reduced to a schwa-like sound /ɪ/.

12. Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations:

While the standard pronunciation is as transcribed, slight regional variations in vowel quality might occur, but these do not significantly alter the syllable division.
