The consistent stress on the first syllable in these words demonstrates a common pattern in Nynorsk compound nouns. The differences in syllable division are primarily due to the varying lengths and complexities of the suffixes and prefixes.

10. Division Rules:

• Onset Maximization: Consonant clusters are maintained within a syllable as long as they don't create an overly complex onset.
• Vowel Peak Principle: Each syllable must contain a vowel.
• Sonority Sequencing Principle: Syllable structure follows a sonority hierarchy (vowels are more sonorous than consonants).
• Open Syllable Preference: Nynorsk tends to favor open syllables (CV) over closed syllables (CVC) when possible.

11. Special Considerations:

The compound nature of the word requires careful consideration of morphemic boundaries. While syllable division aims for phonetic naturalness, it must also respect the underlying morphological structure. Regional variations in pronunciation might affect the precise realization of vowels, but the syllable division remains consistent.
