The differences in syllable division arise from the differing consonant clusters at the beginning of each word. "transactieverwerking" has a more complex initial cluster, requiring more careful consideration of permissible syllable onsets.

10. Division Rules:

• Vowel Peak Principle: Each syllable must contain a vowel sound.
• Onset Maximization: Syllables attempt to maximize the number of consonants in the onset (beginning) of the syllable, within permissible limits.
• Coda Minimization: Syllables tend to minimize the number of consonants in the coda (end) of the syllable.
• Avoid Diphthong Splitting: Diphthongs are kept within a single syllable.

11. Special Considerations:

The "ver-" prefix can sometimes be elided or reduced in rapid speech, potentially affecting the perceived syllable boundary. However, for a standard analysis, it's treated as a separate syllable.
