10. Division Rules:

• Onset Maximization: Consonant clusters are kept together as onsets whenever possible (e.g., 'br', 'ks').
• Vowel Centering: Each vowel generally forms the nucleus of a syllable.
• Avoidance of Stranded Consonants: Consonants are not left at the end of a syllable unless necessary due to the structure of the word.

11. Special Considerations:

The compound nature of the word requires careful consideration of morpheme boundaries. However, the syllable division rules apply consistently across the compound. Regional variations in pronunciation might affect the precise realization of vowels, but not the core syllabification.
