• ontwikkelingsmogelijkheden (development opportunities) - Syllables: ont-wik-ke-lings-mo-ge-lijk-he-den. Longer, but shares the '-lijkheden' ending and similar compound structure.
• toekomstmogelijkheden (future opportunities) - Syllables: toe-ko-must-mo-ge-lijk-he-den. Shares the '-mogelijkheden' ending and similar syllable structure.

The differences in syllable count are due to the varying lengths of the initial morphemes. However, the syllabification rules applied to the shared suffixes and root elements are consistent.

10. Division Rules:

• Vowel-Based Division: Syllables are generally formed around vowel sounds.
• Consonant Cluster Rule: Consonant clusters are kept together as part of the onset or coda of a syllable, unless they can be broken naturally (e.g., a single consonant between vowels).
• Digraph Rule: Digraphs (like 'oo', 'ij') are treated as single units and not split across syllables.
• Morpheme Boundary Consideration: While not a strict rule, syllable boundaries often align with morpheme boundaries.

11. Special Considerations:

The 'ij' digraph presents a slight challenge, as its pronunciation can vary regionally. However, it's consistently treated as a single unit for syllabification. The long vowels /oː/ and /uː/ also influence syllable weight.
