The consistent stress pattern on the second-to-last element in these compound nouns demonstrates a typical Nynorsk phonological rule. The differences in syllable division are primarily due to the varying consonant and vowel sequences within the root words.

10. Division Rules:

• Onset Maximization: Consonant clusters are generally kept together at the beginning of a syllable (e.g., "pr-" in "program").
• Vowel Break: Each vowel nucleus generally forms a separate syllable.

11. Special Considerations:

The genitive 's' is treated as part of the preceding syllable ("-ring-s"). This is a common practice in Nynorsk syllabification.
