Here's a detailed breakdown of each syllable, with rule explanations:

• ka-: /kɑ/ - Open syllable. Rule: Syllable division occurs before the first vowel. No exceptions.
• ri-: /rɪ/ - Closed syllable. Rule: Syllable division occurs after the vowel, as 'r' is part of the onset of the next syllable. Exception: 'r' can sometimes form part of a coda, but here it's more natural in the onset.

7. Edge Case Review:

The consonant cluster 'kn' is common in Nynorsk and doesn't pose a significant syllabification challenge. The vowel 'u' in 'karikatur' is a relatively high vowel, and its pronunciation can vary slightly regionally, but this doesn't affect the syllabification.
