The differences in syllable division arise from the specific consonant clusters and vowel sequences within each word. næringslivspolitiker has more complex clusters, requiring careful consideration of onset maximization.

10. Division Rules:

• Onset Maximization: Consonant clusters are generally kept together at the beginning of a syllable. (e.g., slivsp)
• Vowel Peak: Each syllable must contain a vowel sound.
• Avoid Stranded Consonants: Consonants are not left alone at the end of a syllable if they can be part of an onset.

11. Special Considerations:

The compound nature of the word presents a slight challenge. While each component has its own internal syllable structure, the overall division must consider the word as a single unit. Regional variations in pronunciation might affect the precise realization of vowel qualities, but not the core syllable division.
