The differences in syllable division arise from the specific consonant and vowel sequences in each word. "Ekspedisjonsbygg" has a more complex initial consonant cluster ("eks-") than the others.

10. Division Rules:

• Onset Maximization: Attempt to include as many consonants as possible in the onset of a syllable.
• Vowel Break: Syllables are generally divided around vowels.
• Consonant Cluster Resolution: Complex consonant clusters are broken down based on sonority, with more sonorous sounds tending to form the nucleus of a syllable.

11. Special Considerations:

The compound nature of the word requires careful consideration of morpheme boundaries. However, syllabification is based on phonological structure, not necessarily morpheme boundaries.

12. Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations:

Regional variations in vowel pronunciation might exist, but they generally don't affect the core syllabification. Some dialects might slightly alter the stress, but the penultimate stress is the standard.
