• "framtid" (future): fram-tid. Demonstrates a simpler compound structure, but shares the vowel-consonant syllable division pattern.

The differences in syllable division arise from the length and complexity of the word "premiefritakelse" and the presence of consonant clusters.

10. Division Rules:

• Onset-Rime Principle: Syllables are formed around a vowel nucleus, with preceding consonants forming the onset and following consonants forming the coda.
• Sonority Sequencing Principle: Consonant clusters are resolved based on sonority, with more sonorous sounds tending to be syllable peaks.
• Compound Word Syllabification: Each morpheme within a compound word generally retains its original syllable structure.

11. Special Considerations:

The 'fr' cluster is a common onset in Nynorsk and doesn't pose a significant syllabification challenge. The 'kelse' suffix is a relatively common nominalizing suffix.
