• Compound Word Syllabification: Each component of a compound word is syllabified independently before being combined.

11. Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations:

Regional variations in vowel pronunciation exist in Dutch, but they don't significantly alter the syllable division. Some speakers might pronounce the 'to' slightly differently, but the syllable boundary remains the same.
