10. Division Rules:

• Onset Maximization: Consonant clusters are generally kept together in the onset of a syllable.
• Vowel Peak: Each syllable must contain a vowel.
• Sonority Sequencing: Syllable structure follows the sonority hierarchy (vowels are more sonorous than consonants).

11. Special Considerations:

The pronunciation of /ʋ/ instead of /v/ is a common Nynorsk feature. Regional variations might affect the degree of vowel reduction in unstressed syllables.
