10. Division Rules:

• Rule 1: Vowel-Initial Syllables: Syllables generally begin with a vowel. (Applied throughout)
• Rule 2: Consonant Clusters: Consonant clusters are often split, but geminate consonants (like "tt") are kept together within a syllable. (Applied to "kreditt")
• Rule 3: Consonant-Vowel Sequence: A consonant followed by a vowel typically forms a new syllable. (Applied throughout)

11. Special Considerations:

The geminate consonant "tt" in "kreditt" is a key feature of Nynorsk phonology and influences the syllable weight. The "nd" cluster is also a common feature. Regional variations in pronunciation might affect the precise realization of vowels, but the syllable division remains consistent.
