The differences in stress placement are due to the morphological structure of the words. Compounds in Nynorsk often retain the stress pattern of the root word.

10. Division Rules:

• Onset Maximization: Syllables attempt to maximize their onsets (initial consonant sounds).
• Avoidance of Stranded Consonants: Consonants are generally not left at the end of a syllable unless they are part of a consonant cluster.
• Vowel-Centric Syllabification: Each syllable typically contains one vowel sound.

11. Special Considerations:

The compound nature of the word requires careful consideration of the stress pattern. The suffix "-s" is often treated as part of the preceding syllable.

As mentioned, the pronunciation of 'r' can vary. Some dialects might also exhibit slight variations in vowel quality. These variations do not significantly alter the syllable division.
