The compound nature of the word requires careful consideration of morpheme boundaries. The genitive marker "-s-" is often treated as a separate syllable, even though it's a single letter.

12. Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations:

Regional variations in vowel pronunciation might exist, but they won't significantly alter the syllable division. Some dialects might reduce unstressed vowels, but the syllable structure remains the same.
