11. Special Considerations:

Nynorsk has regional variations in pronunciation, which could slightly affect the precise phonetic realization of the word. However, the syllable division remains consistent across dialects. The "kt" cluster is a potential point of variation, with some speakers potentially inserting a schwa vowel.
