The differences in syllable division arise from the specific consonant and vowel sequences in each word. Nynorsk syllable division prioritizes maximizing onsets, leading to variations in how consonant clusters are split.

10. Division Rules:

• Onset Maximization: Consonant clusters are generally kept together at the beginning of a syllable if phonotactically permissible.
• Vowel Sequencing: Each vowel generally forms the nucleus of a separate syllable.
• Compound Word Syllabification: Syllable boundaries often align with morpheme boundaries in compound words.

11. Special Considerations:

The dl cluster is a potential point of variation, but standard Nynorsk maintains it. Regional dialects might simplify it.
