Following Nynorsk syllable division rules, which prioritize maximizing onsets (consonant clusters at the beginning of a syllable) and avoiding stranded consonants, the division will be as follows.

6. Syllable Breakdown & Rule Application:

Here's a detailed breakdown of each syllable, with rule explanations:
