• samfunnsansvar: sam-funns-an-svar. Shows how consonant clusters can be handled within syllables.

10. Division Rules:

• Onset Maximization: Syllables prefer to have onsets (initial consonants) whenever possible. This is why "ka" and "pi" are separate syllables.
• Vowel Peak: Each syllable must contain a vowel.
• Consonant Cluster Resolution: Consonant clusters are broken up according to sonority, but in this case, the clusters are relatively simple and don't require complex splitting.

11. Special Considerations: Nynorsk has a relatively consistent syllabification system. Regional variations in pronunciation might affect the perceived stress, but not the core syllable division.

12. Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations: Some dialects might slightly reduce the vowel in "pi" to a schwa /ə/, but this doesn't change the syllable division.
