• datamaskin (computer): da-ta-ma-skin. More syllables, but shares the CVC pattern.
• arbeidsplass (workplace): ar-beids-plass. Similar compound structure, with stress on the second element.

The differences in syllable count are due to the length and complexity of the root words. "planleggingskontor" is a compound of a longer, inflected form ("planlegging") and a shorter root ("kontor").

10. Division Rules:

• Onset Maximization: Nynorsk favors maximizing consonant clusters in the onset of a syllable. This is applied in "plan-legg-ings-".
• Vowel as Syllable Nucleus: Each syllable must have a vowel.
• Compound Word Syllabification: Compound words are generally syllabified as if they were separate words joined together.

11. Special Considerations:

The double "g" in "planlegging" can sometimes lead to simplification in colloquial speech, but the standard syllabification maintains both "g"s.
