• naturressurser: /naˈtʊrˌrɛsːʊrsər/ - Syllables: na-tur-res-sur-ser. Longer word, but shares the compound structure and stress pattern on the penultimate syllable.

The differences in stress placement are due to the length of the word and the specific vowel patterns. Longer words in Nynorsk tend to have stress on the penultimate syllable, while shorter words often have stress on the first.

10. Division Rules:

• Onset Maximization: Consonant clusters are generally kept together in the onset of a syllable (e.g., "vr" in "vern").
• Vowel-Centric Syllables: Each syllable typically contains one vowel sound.
• Sonority Sequencing Principle: Syllable structure follows the sonority sequencing principle, with sounds decreasing in sonority from the syllable nucleus outwards.

11. Special Considerations:

The compound nature of the word is a key consideration. Each component (jord, vern, interesse) retains its inherent syllabic structure within the larger compound.

12. Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations:

Regional variations in Nynorsk pronunciation exist, particularly regarding the realization of the 'r' sound. Some dialects may have a stronger alveolar trill, while others may have a weaker tap or even a retroflex approximant. This doesn't significantly affect syllable division, however.
