10. Division Rules:

• Onset Maximization: Consonant clusters are generally kept together at the beginning of a syllable (e.g., "in-", "sjø-", "buss").
• Vowel Peak: Each syllable must contain a vowel sound.
• Sonority Sequencing: Syllable structure follows the sonority sequencing principle, with sounds decreasing in sonority from the beginning to the end of the syllable.

11. Special Considerations:

The "sj" cluster is treated as a single onset, despite being two letters. The genitive "-s" is often pronounced as a separate syllable, but in this case, it's tightly integrated with "jons" due to the flow of pronunciation.
