10. Division Rules:

• Onset Maximization: Consonant clusters are generally kept together as onsets (e.g., "ks" in "kommunikasjonsline").
• Vowel-Centric Syllables: Each syllable typically contains a vowel sound.
• Compound Word Syllabification: Syllabification follows the rules for individual morphemes within the compound.

11. Special Considerations:

The 'j' sound /j/ is a semi-vowel and forms part of the syllable onset. The devoicing of 's' at the end of syllables is a common phonetic feature but doesn't affect the syllabic structure.

12. Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations:

Regional variations in Nynorsk pronunciation might affect the precise realization of vowels, but the core syllable division remains consistent. Some dialects might have a slightly stronger emphasis on the 'ka' syllable in "kommunikasjonsline".
