• regjeringsråd: /rɛɡjɛˈriŋsrɔːd/ - Syllables: re-gje-rings-råd. Shows a complex consonant cluster and stress on the third syllable.

The differences in syllable division arise from the varying lengths of the words and the presence of different consonant clusters. "Stortingskomite" has a more balanced syllable structure compared to "regjeringsråd" which has a more complex onset.

10. Division Rules:

• Onset Maximization: Consonant clusters are generally kept together as onsets. (e.g., "stort-", "skom-")
• Vowel Peak Principle: Each syllable must contain a vowel.
• Avoidance of Stranded Consonants: Consonants are not left at the end of a syllable unless they form part of a permissible consonant cluster.

11. Special Considerations:

The word is relatively straightforward in terms of syllabification. No significant exceptions or regional variations are expected.

12. Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations:

While the pronunciation is fairly standard, some regional dialects might exhibit slight variations in vowel quality or the realization of the 'r' sound. These variations would not significantly alter the syllable division.
