• datamaskin (computer): da-ta-ma-skin. Longer compound, but still adheres to maximizing onsets and respecting vowel sequences.

The differences in syllable count are due to the length and complexity of the root words within the compounds. "augneblinksbilete" has a longer root ("bilete") than "fjellbekk", resulting in more syllables.
