The differences in syllable division arise from the varying lengths of the words and the specific vowel/consonant sequences. "Tobakksindustri" has a more complex morphemic structure, influencing the syllable boundaries.

10. Division Rules:

• Onset Maximization: Consonant clusters are generally kept together as onsets (e.g., "ks" in "tobakk").
• Vowel Peak Principle: Each syllable must contain a vowel nucleus.
• Sonority Sequencing Principle: Syllable structure follows a sonority hierarchy (vowels are more sonorous than consonants).
• Morpheme Boundary Consideration: Syllable boundaries often align with morpheme boundaries, but not always.

11. Special Considerations:

The genitive '-s' can sometimes be a point of variation in syllable division, but in this case, it's treated as part of the preceding morpheme ("tobakk"). Regional variations in pronunciation might affect the precise realization of the vowels, but not the core syllable structure.
