10. Division Rules:

• Onset Maximization: Nynorsk favors maximizing consonant clusters in the onset of a syllable (e.g., "ho-ved").
• Vowel Sequencing: Each vowel generally forms the nucleus of a separate syllable (e.g., "o-ga-ni-sa-sjon").
• Sonority Sequencing: Syllable boundaries tend to occur after a decrease in sonority (e.g., from a vowel to a consonant).

11. Special Considerations:

The "v" in "hoved" is pronounced as /v/, and the "o" is a long vowel /œː/. The pronunciation of "r" can vary regionally, but the analysis assumes the standard Nynorsk pronunciation.
