The differences in syllable division arise from the varying consonant clusters and vowel lengths within each word. tilhengarkomfyr has a more complex cluster (rk) and a longer vowel in the final syllable, influencing the division.

10. Division Rules:

• Onset Maximization: Consonant clusters are generally kept together at the beginning of a syllable. (e.g., til-, kom-)
• Vowel Peak Principle: Each syllable must have a vowel. (e.g., hen-, fyr)
• Sonority Sequencing Principle: Syllables tend to follow a sonority hierarchy (vowels are more sonorous than consonants).

11. Special Considerations:

The compound nature of the word requires careful consideration of morpheme boundaries. While each morpheme has its own inherent syllable structure, the overall syllabification must adhere to the phonotactic rules of Nynorsk.

12. Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations:

Some dialects might reduce the vowel in the final syllable (fyr) to a schwa /ə/, but this doesn't significantly alter the syllable division.
