• Open Syllable Preference: Syllables tend to be open (CV) whenever possible.
• Vowel-Centric Syllabification: Each vowel generally forms the nucleus of a syllable.
• Compound Word Syllabification: Compound words are syllabified based on the individual morphemes.

The word is a compound, and the syllabification reflects this. There are no significant exceptions to the standard Nynorsk rules. Regional variations in 'r' pronunciation might affect the perceived boundaries, but not the core syllabic structure.
