10. Division Rules:

• Onset Maximization: Consonant clusters are kept together as onsets whenever possible (e.g., 'hj' in 'hjelpe').
• Open Syllable Preference: Nynorsk favors open syllables (CV) over closed syllables (CVC).
• Vowel-to-Vowel Separation: Vowel sequences are generally separated into different syllables (e.g., 'pe-ier').

11. Special Considerations:

The compound nature of the word requires careful consideration of morpheme boundaries. The 'e' at the end of 'hjelpe' and 'pleier' are crucial for pronunciation and syllable division. Regional variations in vowel pronunciation might exist, but they don't significantly alter the syllable division.
