- arbeidsliv: ar-beids-liv (similar compound structure, stress on the second element)
The syllable division in all these words follows the same principle of maximizing onsets and placing stress on the root or the final syllable of the first constituent. The length of syllables and the presence of geminate consonants (like in "rekordinnehaver") affect duration but not the basic syllable structure.

The 'r' sound in Nynorsk can be challenging for non-native speakers. Its pronunciation varies regionally. The geminate consonants (double 'n') affect the duration of the syllable but not its structure.
12. Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations:
Regional variations in vowel quality and 'r' pronunciation exist. However, these variations do not significantly alter the syllable division.

What is hyphenation
Hyphenation is the process of dividing words across lines in print or on websites. It involves inserting hyphens (-) where a word breaks to continue on the next line.
Proper hyphenation improves readability by reducing the unevenness of word spacing and unnecessary large gaps. It also helps avoid confusion that may occur when part of a word carries over. Ideal hyphenation should break words according to pronunciation and syllables. Most word processors and publishing apps have automated tools to handle hyphenation effectively based on language rules and dictionaries. Though subtle, proper hyphenation improves overall typography and reading comfort.
