9. Phonological Comparison:

10. Division Rules:

• Onset Maximization: Consonant clusters are generally kept together at the beginning of a syllable (e.g., kom-).
• Vowel-Based Division: Syllables are typically divided around vowels.
• Compound Word Syllabification: Each component of a compound word retains its original syllabification.

11. Special Considerations:

The compound nature of the word requires careful consideration of the individual components' syllabification. The "e" at the end of "kompetanse" is a schwa sound and can sometimes be reduced in rapid speech, but it still constitutes a syllable.
