The differences in syllable division arise from the varying consonant clusters and vowel sequences in the root morphemes. "Tiltredelsesdato" has a more complex onset cluster (tiltr), leading to a different initial syllable division.

• Sonority Sequencing: 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 when applying syllable division rules. Regional variations in pronunciation might affect the realization of certain consonant clusters.
