The differences in syllable count are due to the varying lengths and complexities of the compound elements. "grondstoffenaandeel" is a longer compound with more morphemes.

10. Division Rules:

• Onset Maximization: Dutch prefers to maximize the onsets of syllables (e.g., 'gr', 'st').
• Avoidance of Single-Letter Syllables: Dutch avoids creating syllables consisting of a single vowel.
• Compound Word Syllabification: Compounds are generally syllabified as if they were single words, respecting the internal morphemic structure.

11. Special Considerations:

The 'oe' diphthong is a common feature of Dutch and is always treated as a single syllable unit. The connecting element '-fen-' is a typical feature of Dutch compound nouns.
