6. Edge Case Review:

Danish allows for complex consonant clusters, and the syllabification must account for these. The 'r' sound can be challenging, as its realization varies regionally.

The differences in stress placement are due to the length of the word and the presence of multiple morphemes. Longer words tend to have secondary stresses, while shorter words have a more prominent primary stress.

10. Division Rules:

• Onset Maximization: Danish prefers to include as many consonants as possible in the onset of a syllable.
• Vowel Nucleus: Each syllable must have a vowel nucleus.
• Sonority Sequencing Principle: Syllable structure follows a sonority hierarchy, with sounds becoming more sonorous towards the nucleus.

11. Special Considerations:

The pronunciation of the 'r' sound can vary regionally. Some speakers may pronounce it as a trill [r], while others use an approximant [ʁ]. This variation does not affect the syllabification.
