6. Edge Case Review:

Danish has a relatively consistent syllabification system. However, the presence of the glottal stop /ʔ/ (represented as ˀ) after the /p/ in "hjælpe" is a common feature and doesn't significantly alter the syllabification process. The long vowels and diphthongs also need careful consideration.

7. Grammatical Role:

The word is primarily a noun. Syllabification remains consistent regardless of grammatical function, as Danish doesn't exhibit significant stress shifts based on part of speech.

The differences in syllable division arise from the varying consonant and vowel sequences within each word. The rule of maximizing onsets is consistently applied.

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.
• Compound Word Syllabification: Syllabification follows the rules for individual morphemes within a compound.

11. Special Considerations:

The presence of the glottal stop /ʔ/ after /p/ in "hjælpe" is a common feature of Danish pronunciation and doesn't affect the syllabification rules. The long vowels and diphthongs are also considered when determining syllable boundaries.
