The differences in syllable count are due to the varying lengths of the constituent morphemes. However, the underlying principle of forming open syllables where possible and maintaining consonant clusters within syllables remains consistent.

10. Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations:

Regional variations in Nynorsk pronunciation might affect the realization of the /ç/ sound in 'kjøps', with some dialects using /k/ instead. This wouldn't significantly alter the syllable division.

• Onset Maximization: Consonant clusters are maintained as onsets where possible (e.g., 'kjøps').
• Open Syllable Preference: Syllables tend to be open (ending in a vowel) unless a consonant cluster is unavoidable.
• Moraic Weight: Long vowels and diphthongs influence syllable weight and stress placement.
