The consistency in stress placement and syllable division across these words demonstrates the regularity of Nynorsk phonology. The main difference lies in the initial consonant clusters, which dictate the initial syllable division.

10. Division Rules:

• Vowel Peak Principle: Each syllable must contain a vowel sound.
• Onset-Rime Structure: Syllables are divided into an onset (initial consonant cluster) and a rime (vowel and following consonants).
• Consonant Cluster Resolution: Consonant clusters are generally split to maximize onsets and minimize codas, but maintaining phonotactic constraints.
• Penultimate Stress: In words of this length, the primary stress falls on the penultimate syllable.

11. Special Considerations:

The word is a compound, and the syllable division reflects the individual morphemes. There are no significant exceptions to the standard Nynorsk rules. Regional variations in pronunciation might affect the precise realization of vowel sounds, but not the syllable division itself.
