- The word's length and complex morphology require careful application of syllabification rules.
- Consonant clusters like 'ngs' and 'nks' are permissible in Dutch and do not necessarily trigger syllable splitting.
- Regional variations in the pronunciation of the 'r' sound may exist but do not affect syllable division.
