5. Syllable Division Rule Explanations:

• Sonority Sequencing Principle: This principle states that syllables are structured such that sonority (sound intensity) increases from the syllable onset to the nucleus (vowel) and decreases from the nucleus to the coda (final consonants).
• Maximum Onset Principle: This principle states that consonants are assigned to the onset of a syllable whenever possible, maximizing the number of consonants in the onset.

6. Exceptions/Special Cases per Syllable:

• The 'oe' diphthong in 'Roes' is treated as a single vowel sound for syllabification purposes.
• The 'g' in 'brugge' and 'Haringe' is a voiced velar fricative /ɣ/, which can be challenging for non-native speakers.

7. Exceptions/Special Cases for the Word as a Whole:

• The hyphenated structure reflects the two distinct place names combined.
