• Samarbeidsvillighet (Willingness to cooperate): sam-ar-beids-vil-li-ghet - Longer word, but shares the pattern of compound nouns with multiple syllables. Stress on the third syllable.
• Utviklingsmuligheter (Development opportunities): ut-vik-lings-mul-ig-he-ter - Similar compound structure, but with more vowel clusters. Stress on the third syllable.

The differences in stress placement are due to the inherent rhythmic patterns of the compound elements and the overall length of the word. "Forskningsinnsats" is relatively short, leading to earlier stress.

• Onset Maximization: Prioritizing consonant clusters as onsets (e.g., sk in forsknings).

• Vowel-Based Division: Dividing between vowels, especially in compound words.

11. Special Considerations:

The compound nature of the word requires careful consideration of morpheme boundaries. The 'n' in forsknings is part of the root and must be included in the syllable.
