• gjennomføring (implementation): gjenn-om-fø-ring. More complex consonant clusters, but still follows the principle of maximizing onsets. Stress on the third syllable.

The differences in stress placement are due to the inherent rhythmic patterns of the individual morphemes and the overall word structure.

10. Division Rules:

• Onset Maximization: Consonant clusters are generally kept together at the beginning of a syllable.
• Vowel Peak: Each syllable must contain a vowel.
• Sonority Sequencing: Syllable structure follows the sonority sequencing principle (increasing sonority from onset to nucleus, decreasing from nucleus to coda).

11. Special Considerations:

The 'sm' cluster can sometimes be challenging, but it's treated as a single onset in Nynorsk. Regional variations in the pronunciation of 't' in 'opptak' could affect the perceived syllable boundary.
