The differences in syllable division arise from the specific consonant and vowel sequences within each word. Danish syllabification prioritizes avoiding initial consonant clusters, which influences the placement of syllable boundaries.

10. Division Rules:

• Rule 1: Avoid Initial Consonant Clusters: Syllables generally do not begin with consonant clusters.
• Rule 2: Preserve Consonant Clusters: Consonant clusters within a morpheme are generally kept together in the same syllable.
• Rule 3: Vowel as Syllable Nucleus: Each syllable must have a vowel nucleus.
• Rule 4: Compound Word Syllabification: Syllabification of compound words follows the rules for individual morphemes.

11. Special Considerations:

The length of the word and the presence of multiple morphemes make it a complex case. The pronunciation can vary slightly depending on regional dialects, but the core syllabification remains consistent.
