9. Phonological Comparison:

• fotballkamp (football match): fot-ball-kamp. Similar syllable structure, with consonant clusters at the beginning of syllables.
• treningskamp (training match): tre-nings-kamp. Demonstrates the common -kamp suffix and similar syllable division patterns.
• vinterkamp (winter match): vin-ter-kamp. Shows how vowel length and consonant clusters influence syllable boundaries.

10. Division Rules:

• Onset Maximization: Nynorsk favors maximizing consonant clusters within syllables. This is evident in opp- and varm-.
• Vowel-Centric Syllables: Each syllable generally contains a vowel sound.
• Compound Word Syllabification: Compound words are syllabified based on the individual morphemes.

11. Special Considerations:

The double consonant 'pp' in opp- is treated as a single consonant cluster for syllabification purposes. The 'v' sound can sometimes be realized as a labiodental approximant [ʋ] in certain dialects, but this doesn't affect the syllable division.
