9. Phonological Comparison:

• utvikling (/ʉtˈvɪklɪŋ/): 3 syllables. Similar vowel structure, but the initial consonant cluster 'ut-' differs.
• framgang (/ˈfrɑmɡɑŋ/): 2 syllables. Simpler structure, but shares the 'ang' ending.
• evaluering (/eˌvaˈlʉːeːrɪŋ/): 4 syllables. More complex vowel structure and consonant clusters, but demonstrates the typical Nynorsk preference for open syllables.

10. Syllable Division Rules Applied:

• Onset Maximization: Consonant clusters are maximized within a syllable (e.g., 'st' in 'studie').
• Vowel Peak Principle: Each syllable must contain a vowel sound.
• Sonority Sequencing Principle: Sounds within a syllable are ordered by decreasing sonority (vowels are most sonorous, followed by semivowels, fricatives, nasals, and finally stops).
• Avoidance of Single-Letter Syllables: Nynorsk generally avoids syllables consisting of a single consonant.

11. Special Considerations:

The compound nature of the word requires careful consideration of morpheme boundaries, but these do not necessarily dictate syllable boundaries. The 'ie' digraph is treated as a single vowel sound for syllabification.

12. Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations:

Regional variations in vowel pronunciation might exist, but they wouldn't significantly alter the syllable division. Some dialects might slightly reduce the vowel in unstressed syllables.
