9. Phonological Comparison:

• fruktkorg (fruit basket): frukt-korg. Similar syllable structure with a compound noun. Stress on the first syllable of the first element.
• datamaskiner (computers): da-ta-maski-ner. Demonstrates a more complex syllable structure with multiple consonant clusters, but still adheres to maximizing onsets.
• bokhandel (bookstore): bok-han-del. Shows a simpler syllable structure, but the principle of maximizing onsets applies.

The differences in syllable division arise from the varying complexity of consonant clusters and the length of the morphemes. "Tekstilavdeling" has a relatively balanced structure, while "datamaskiner" presents a more challenging syllabification due to its multiple clusters.

10. Division Rules:

• Onset Maximization: Nynorsk favors creating syllables with as many initial consonants as possible.
• Vowel-Centric Syllables: Each syllable generally contains one vowel sound.
• Compound Word Syllabification: Compound words are typically divided between the constituent morphemes.

11. Special Considerations:

The "v" in "avdeling" can sometimes be pronounced as a "u" in certain dialects, but this doesn't affect the standard syllabification.
