10. Division Rules:

• Rule 1: Open Syllable Preference: Dutch favors creating open syllables (ending in a vowel). This is applied throughout the word.
• Rule 2: Consonant Cluster Preservation: Consonant clusters are generally kept together within a syllable unless they are easily separable based on pronunciation.
• Rule 3: Vowel Combination: Diphthongs and vowel combinations are treated as a single syllable nucleus.

The 'oo' combination is a diphthong and is treated as a single syllable nucleus. The 'co' is treated as a single unit due to its common occurrence and established pronunciation.
