9. Phonological Comparison:

• avslutning: a-vslʉt-nɪŋ (3 syllables) - Similar structure, stress on the first syllable.
• nummerering: nʉm-me-rɛ-rɪŋ (4 syllables) - Similar root "nummer", but with additional suffixation.
• tilslutning: tɪl-slʉt-nɪŋ (3 syllables) - Similar suffixation pattern "-ning", stress on the first syllable.

The differences in syllable count are due to the addition of prefixes and suffixes. The consistent stress on the first syllable in these words demonstrates a common Nynorsk prosodic pattern.

10. Division Rules:

• Onset Maximization: Consonant clusters are generally kept together at the beginning of a syllable (e.g., "sl" in "avslutning").
• Vowel Peak: Each syllable must contain a vowel sound.
• Sonority Sequencing: Syllables follow a sonority hierarchy, with sounds becoming more sonorous towards the nucleus (vowel).

11. Special Considerations:

The "s" between "slutning" and "nummer" acts as a linking sound, creating a genitive connection. This doesn't affect syllable division but is important for understanding the word's morphology. Regional variations in pronunciation might affect vowel quality, but not syllable structure.
