6. Edge Case Review:

The double consonants (ss) and the sequence of vowels can pose challenges. Nynorsk generally allows consonant clusters in onsets and codas, and vowel sequences are resolved based on glide formation or hiatus.

7. Grammatical Role:

The word is primarily a noun. Syllabification and stress remain consistent regardless of grammatical function, as it's a single, inflexible form.

The differences in syllable division arise from the varying length and complexity of the compound words. "gjeldssaneringsordning" is longer and contains more vowel sequences, leading to more syllables.

10. Division Rules:

• Onset Maximization: Consonant clusters are maintained as onsets whenever possible (e.g., gj-).
• Vowel Break: Each vowel nucleus forms a syllable (e.g., sa-, rings-).
• Coda Preference: Consonants following vowels are generally preferred in the coda position unless they create an overly complex cluster.
• Compound Word Syllabification: Syllable boundaries often align with morpheme boundaries in compound words.

11. Special Considerations:

The "ss" cluster is a common feature in Nynorsk and doesn't typically cause syllable division issues. The vowel sequences are resolved by creating separate syllables for each vowel.
