The differences in syllable division arise from the varying lengths and complexity of the root morphemes. "tilkoblingsmulighet" has a more complex root structure than the other words, leading to a greater number of syllables.

10. Division Rules:

• Onset Maximization: Consonant clusters are generally kept together in the onset of a syllable (e.g., "tilkob-").
• Vowel Break: Each vowel nucleus generally forms the core of a syllable (e.g., "kob-lings-").
• Sonority Sequencing: Syllables tend to follow a sonority hierarchy, with sounds becoming more sonorous towards the nucleus.

11. Special Considerations:

The word is relatively straightforward in terms of syllabification, with no major exceptions. Regional variations in pronunciation might affect the precise realization of vowel qualities, but not the core syllable structure.
