• universitet: /ˌuniˈveːʁsɪˌteːt/ - Syllables: u-ni-ve-rsi-tet. Demonstrates the Danish tendency to create longer syllables with consonant onsets.

10. Division Rules:

• Onset Maximization: Danish prefers to include as many consonants as possible in the onset of a syllable.

• Sonority Sequencing Principle: Consonants within a syllable are ordered according to sonority (loudness), generally moving from less sonorous to more sonorous.

11. Special Considerations:

The pronunciation of /r/ in Danish is variable, often realized as a uvular fricative [ʁ] or a tap [ɾ]. This doesn't significantly affect syllable division. The diphthongs /ai̯/ and /au̯/ are common and treated as single vowel nuclei.
