9. Phonological Comparison:

• utdanning (education): /ʉtˈdɑnːɪŋ/ - Syllable division: ut-dan-ning. Similar vowel structure, but lacks the complex prefix/suffix structure.
• samarbeid (collaboration): /sɑmˈɑrbɛiːð/ - Syllable division: sam-ar-bei-d. Similar consonant clusters, but simpler morphemic structure.
• gjennomføring (implementation): /ɡjœnːʊmˈføːrɪŋ/ - Syllable division: gjen-nom-fø-ring. Demonstrates similar gemination and consonant clusters, but different vowel qualities.

The differences in syllable division arise from the varying lengths of the words, the presence of prefixes and suffixes, and the specific vowel and consonant combinations. Nynorsk syllable division prioritizes vowel sounds, leading to divisions around each vowel, even within complex morphemes.

10. Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations:

Regional variations in Nynorsk pronunciation can affect the dentalization of 'd' and the hardness/softness of 'g' and 'k'. Some dialects might slightly alter the vowel qualities. However, the core syllable division remains consistent.

11. Division Rules Applied:

• Vowel Peak Rule: Each syllable contains a vowel sound.
• Onset Maximization Rule: Consonant clusters are maximized within the onset of a syllable.
• Coda Minimization Rule: Syllables tend to avoid complex codas (consonant clusters at the end of a syllable).
• Moraic Weight: Long vowels and geminated consonants contribute to the moraic weight of a syllable, influencing stress placement.
