10. Division Rules:

• Onset-Rime Principle: Syllables are formed around a vowel nucleus, with preceding consonants forming the onset and following consonants forming the coda.

The geminate 'tt' in billett is a common feature of Nynorsk and affects the duration of the syllable. The 'e' connecting vowel is crucial for pronunciation and syllabification.
