• arbeidsliv: ar-beids-liv (demonstrates the stress pattern on the first syllable of the root)

The differences in syllable division arise from the specific consonant and vowel sequences within each word. "lysbildeforedrag" has a more complex combination of consonant clusters and vowel sounds, leading to a slightly more nuanced syllable breakdown.

10. Division Rules:

• Onset Maximization: Consonant clusters are generally kept together at the beginning of a syllable (e.g., "lys-").
• Avoid Stranded Consonants: Consonants are not left at the end of a syllable unless they are part of a diphthong or a permissible coda.
• Vowel-Based Division: Syllables are typically divided around vowel sounds.

11. Special Considerations:

The compound nature of the word requires careful consideration of the individual morphemes and their pronunciation within the larger structure. The prefix "fore-" can sometimes be reduced in rapid speech, but its syllable boundary remains consistent in standard pronunciation.

12. Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations:

Some regional dialects might exhibit slight variations in vowel quality or stress placement, but the core syllable structure remains largely consistent.
