The differences in syllable division arise from the specific consonant and vowel sequences in each word. "komposisjonsmetode" has a more balanced distribution of vowels and consonants, leading to a slightly different syllabic structure.

10. Division Rules:

• Onset Maximization: Consonants are assigned to the onset of the following syllable whenever possible.
• Vowel Break: Each vowel nucleus forms a syllable.
• Avoidance of Coda Complexity: Nynorsk prefers simpler codas (consonant clusters at the end of a syllable).
• Moraic Syllabification: While not strictly moraic, the language tends to favor syllables of roughly equal weight.

11. Special Considerations:

The 'sj' cluster is treated as a single onset. The 'sjons' suffix is a common unit and is syllabified as a whole. Regional variations in pronunciation might affect the precise realization of vowels, but not the core syllabification.

12. Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations:

Some dialects might pronounce the 'sj' sound slightly differently, but this doesn't significantly alter the syllable division. Vowel qualities can also vary slightly between dialects.
