The differences in syllable division arise from the specific vowel and consonant sequences within each word. Dutch syllabification prioritizes vowel sounds, leading to variations in division based on the placement of vowels.

10. Division Rules:

• Vowel-centric division: Syllables are built around vowel sounds.
• Digraph preservation: Digraphs like 'sch' are not split across syllables.
• Consonant cluster handling: Consonant clusters are generally maintained within a syllable unless a vowel intervenes.
• Penultimate stress: Primary stress falls on the penultimate syllable.

11. Special Considerations:

The word's length and complexity make it a challenging case for syllabification. However, the rules applied consistently produce a linguistically sound division. Regional variations in pronunciation might lead to slight differences in perceived syllable boundaries, but the core division remains consistent.
