10. Division Rules:

• Onset Maximization: Consonant clusters are generally kept together in the onset of a syllable (e.g., 'pr-' in 'produkt').
• Vowel Peak: Each syllable must contain a vowel.
• Compound Word Syllabification: Compound words are syllabified as if they were single words, following the general syllable division rules.
