The "sj" digraph represents /ʃ/ in Nynorsk. The consonant cluster "rs" is permissible in onsets and codas. The vowel qualities are relatively standard for Nynorsk.

• konkurranse (competition): kon-kur-ran-se - Similar syllable structure with consonant clusters. Stress on the first syllable.

The differences in stress placement are due to the inherent rhythmic patterns of the words and the relative prominence of the root morphemes. "korrosjonsangrep" follows the pattern of stressing the first element of a compound noun.

10. Division Rules:

• Onset Maximization: Consonant clusters are generally kept together in the onset of a syllable (e.g., "kr" in "korrosjon").
• Vowel-Centric Syllables: Each syllable contains a vowel sound.
• Compound Word Syllabification: Compound words are syllabified as if they were separate words joined together.

11. Special Considerations:

Regional variations in Nynorsk pronunciation might affect vowel qualities, but the syllable division remains consistent. The "sj" digraph is a consistent feature of Nynorsk phonology.
