10. Division Rules:

• Onset-Rime Principle: Syllables are formed around a vowel nucleus, with preceding consonants forming the onset and following consonants forming the coda.
• Sonority Sequencing Principle: Consonant clusters are broken down based on sonority (loudness), with more sonorous sounds tending to be syllable nuclei.
• Compound Word Syllabification: Syllables are generally maintained within the constituent words of a compound.

11. Special Considerations:

The "hj" cluster is a potential point of variation, but in Nynorsk, it's consistently pronounced as /h/. The double consonants affect syllable weight but don't alter the basic syllabification rules.
