10. Division Rules:

• Onset Maximization: Consonant clusters are kept together at the beginning of syllables whenever possible (e.g., 'hånd', 'verks').

• Vowel-Based Division: Syllables are generally divided around vowel sounds.

11. Special Considerations:

The 'dt' cluster in 'utdannelse' is a potential point of variation in pronunciation, but the syllabification remains consistent. Regional dialects might influence vowel qualities.
