10. Division Rules:

• Rule 1: Open Syllable Preference: Nynorsk favors creating open syllables (CV) whenever possible. This influences the division between 'in' and 'stru'.
• Rule 2: Consonant Cluster Handling: Consonant clusters are generally maintained within a syllable unless they are exceptionally complex. 'str' remains together.
• Rule 3: Compound Word Syllabification: Syllable boundaries often align with the boundaries of the constituent words in a compound.

11. Special Considerations:

The pronunciation of the 'j' as 'y' is a characteristic of Nynorsk. Regional variations in vowel quality might exist, but they don't significantly alter the syllable division.
