11. Division Rules Applied:

• Onset-Rime Principle: Syllables are formed around a vowel nucleus, with preceding consonants forming the onset and following consonants forming the rime.
• Sonority Sequencing Principle: Consonant clusters are broken down based on sonority, with more sonorous sounds tending to form the nucleus of a syllable.
• Avoidance of Single-Letter Syllables: Nynorsk generally avoids creating syllables consisting of a single vowel or consonant.
