6. Edge Case Review:

Nynorsk allows for both 'hard' and 'soft' pronunciation of consonants. The 'r' sound can be trilled or tapped, and vowel qualities can vary slightly between dialects. However, the core syllabification remains consistent.

The differences in syllable division arise from the varying consonant clusters and vowel sequences within each word. "klimaforverring" has a longer sequence of vowels and a more complex prefix/suffix combination.

10. Division Rules:

• Onset Maximization: Nynorsk prefers to include as many consonants as possible in the onset of a syllable (e.g., 'klim-').
• Vowel Break: Each vowel nucleus generally forms a separate syllable (e.g., 'for-ver-ring').
• Consonant Cluster Resolution: Consonant clusters are broken up according to sonority, with less sonorous consonants tending to be assigned to the following syllable (e.g., 'ver-ring').

11. Special Considerations:

The 'r' sound in Nynorsk can be pronounced differently depending on the dialect. This doesn't affect the syllabification, but it can influence the perceived length of the syllable.
