10. Division Rules:

• Onset Maximization: Consonant clusters are generally kept together at the beginning of a syllable (e.g., dis-trikt, pro-gram).
• 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 compound nature of the word requires careful consideration of morpheme boundaries. However, syllable division is based on phonological structure, not necessarily morpheme boundaries.

12. Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations:

Regional variations in Nynorsk pronunciation might affect the realization of the /ɾ/ sound (e.g., a trill in some dialects). However, this doesn't significantly alter the syllable division.
