• Prefix: элек- (elek-) - From "электричество" (elektrichestvo - electricity). Origin: International scientific vocabulary (Greek "elektron" - amber). Function: Denotes the use of electricity.

5. Phonetic Transcription:

6. Edge Case Review:

Russian syllabification generally avoids leaving a single consonant at the beginning of a syllable. This is observed in the division between "про" and "иг". The vowel reduction in unstressed syllables is a significant factor in pronunciation, but doesn't affect the syllabification itself.

7. Grammatical Role:

The word is primarily a noun. While the root "проигрывать" is a verb, the derived noun doesn't exhibit verb-specific syllabification patterns.

8. Definition & Semantics:

• Grammatical Category: Noun (masculine, plural, instrumental case)
• Translation: with record players / by means of record players

9. Phonological Comparison:

• телевизорами (televizorami): te-le-vi-zo-ra-mi. Similar syllable structure with alternating consonant-vowel patterns. Stress falls on the 'zo' syllable.
• магнитофонами (magnitofonami): mag-ni-to-fo-na-mi. Similar in length and complexity, also ending in an instrumental plural suffix. Stress falls on the 'fo' syllable.
• радиоприёмниками (radiopriemnikami): ra-di-o-pri-em-ni-ka-mi. Another compound noun with a similar structure, demonstrating the tendency for syllable division to occur around morpheme boundaries. Stress falls on the 'em' syllable.

10. Division Rules:

• Rule 1: Sonority Sequencing Principle: Syllables are formed around a sonority peak (vowel). Consonants are grouped around the vowel.
• Rule 2: Avoid Single Initial Consonants: Russian avoids starting a syllable with a single consonant if it can be grouped with the following vowel.
• Rule 3: Morpheme Boundaries: Syllable division often respects morpheme boundaries.

11. Special Considerations:

The word's length and complex morphology present a challenge. The vowel reduction in unstressed syllables doesn't affect the orthographic syllabification.
