The consistency in stress placement on the penult in these words demonstrates a common pattern in Nynorsk noun formation with the mulighet suffix.

10. Division Rules:

• Onset Maximization: Consonant clusters are generally kept together at the beginning of a syllable (e.g., av-, set-, nings-).
• Vowel Peak Principle: Each syllable must contain a vowel.
• Sonority Sequencing Principle: Syllables tend to follow a sonority hierarchy (vowels are more sonorous than consonants).
• Suffix Separation: Suffixes are generally separated into their own syllables.

11. Special Considerations:

The word is relatively straightforward in terms of syllabification. No major exceptions or anomalies are present. Regional variations in vowel pronunciation might affect the precise phonetic realization, but not the syllable division.

12. Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations:

Some dialects might reduce the vowel in "-ning" to a schwa /ə/. This would affect the phonetic transcription but not the syllable division.
