10. Division Rules:

• Onset Maximization: Danish prefers to include as many consonants as possible in the onset of a syllable.
• Vowel as Syllable Nucleus: Each syllable must have a vowel nucleus.
• Sonority Sequencing Principle: Consonants are ordered by sonority (ease of articulation), with more sonorous sounds closer to the vowel.

11. Special Considerations:

The 'r' sound in Danish is often reduced or vocalized in unstressed syllables, which can affect the perceived syllable boundaries. The genitive 's' is often pronounced as /s/ or /əs/.

12. Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations:

Regional variations in Danish pronunciation exist, particularly regarding the realization of vowels and the presence/absence of stød. These variations might slightly alter the perceived syllable boundaries, but the core syllabification remains consistent.
