10. Division Rules:

• Onset Maximization: Nynorsk favors placing as many consonants as possible in the onset of a syllable.
• Vowel Sequencing: Each vowel generally forms the nucleus of a separate syllable.
• Penultimate Stress: Nouns with multiple syllables are typically stressed on the penultimate syllable.

11. Special Considerations:

Regional variations in pronunciation might affect the precise realization of vowels, but the core syllabification remains consistent. The pronunciation of the 'v' sound can vary slightly between dialects.
