The compound nature of the word is a key consideration. The syllable division reflects the boundaries between the constituent morphemes.

As mentioned, the 'r' sound can vary regionally. Some dialects might pronounce it as a more distinct trill [r]. This doesn't affect the syllable division, but it does impact the phonetic realization.
