10. Division Rules:

• Onset Maximization: Consonant clusters are generally kept together in the onset of a syllable (e.g., schr in schrijdingen).
• Vowel Peak Principle: Each syllable must have a vowel peak.
• Sonority Sequencing Principle: Syllable structure follows a sonority hierarchy (sonority decreases from vowel to consonant).
• Compound Word Syllabification: Compounds are often treated as single words for syllabification purposes.

11. Special Considerations:

The 'schr' cluster is a common exception to the general rule of breaking up consonant clusters. It's treated as a single unit. The final '-en' is a common plural marker and is always a separate syllable.
