The consistent stress on the first syllable in these words highlights a common pattern in Nynorsk compound nouns. The differences in syllable structure arise from the varying lengths and complexities of the root and suffix components.

10. Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations:

Regional variations in Nynorsk pronunciation are common. Some dialects might reduce the vowel quality in unstressed syllables, or slightly alter the pronunciation of the 'j' sound. However, these variations generally do not affect the core syllable division.

11. Division Rules Applied:

• Onset Maximization: Consonant clusters are maintained as onsets whenever possible (e.g., 'for-').
• Open Syllable Preference: Syllables tend to be open (CV) rather than closed (CVC) when possible.
• Moraic Weight: Long vowels and geminate consonants (like 'pp') contribute to moraic weight, influencing syllable boundaries.
• Compound Word Syllabification: Compound words are generally syllabified based on the individual morphemes.
