The word functions primarily as a noun. Syllabification and stress remain consistent regardless of its grammatical role within a sentence.

• arbeidslivet (working life): ar-beids-li-vet. Syllable division follows similar onset maximization principles.
• utdannelsesystemet (education system): ut-dan-nel-ses-sys-te-met. More syllables, but the same principles of consonant cluster handling apply. The difference lies in the length and complexity of the word.

10. Division Rules:

• Onset Maximization: Consonant clusters are generally kept together at the beginning of a syllable.
• Vowel-Centric Syllabification: Each syllable typically contains one vowel sound.
• Penultimate Stress: Words ending in "-i" often have stress on the penultimate syllable.

11. Special Considerations:

The compound nature of the word requires careful consideration of morpheme boundaries. However, the syllabification rules apply to the entire word as a single unit, not necessarily respecting morpheme boundaries. Regional variations in pronunciation might affect the precise realization of vowel sounds, but the syllable division remains largely consistent.
