6. Edge Case Review:

The consonant cluster "str" is common in Nynorsk and doesn't pose a significant syllabification challenge. The compound nature of the word requires careful consideration of morphemic boundaries, but the rules are relatively straightforward.

• "datamaskiner" (computers): da-ta-mas-ki-ner. Demonstrates the tendency to break up consonant clusters when they are not part of a morpheme.

10. Division Rules:

• Onset Maximization: Consonant clusters are generally kept together at the beginning of a syllable (e.g., "str" in "rust").
• Vowel Sequencing: Each vowel generally forms the nucleus of a separate syllable.
• Morpheme Boundaries: Syllable division often respects morpheme boundaries, but this is not absolute.

11. Special Considerations:

The compound nature of the word is the primary consideration. The division aims to reflect the underlying morphemes while adhering to general syllabification principles.

12. Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations:

Regional variations in Nynorsk pronunciation might affect vowel qualities, but the core syllable division remains consistent. Some dialects might slightly reduce the vowel in "-ings", but this doesn't alter the syllabic structure.
