The consistent stress pattern on the first element of the compound noun is a key feature. The differences in syllable division arise from the different consonant clusters within each root word.

10. Division Rules:

• Onset Maximization: Danish prefers to maximize the number of consonants in the onset of a syllable.
• Vowel-Centric Syllables: Each syllable must contain a vowel.
• Compound Word Syllabification: Compound words are syllabified by breaking them down into their constituent morphemes.

11. Special Considerations:

The pronunciation of /ʁ/ (the Danish 'r') can vary regionally. Some speakers may pronounce it as a uvular fricative, while others use an alveolar tap. This doesn't affect syllable division, but it can influence the phonetic realization of the word.
