10. Division Rules:

• Onset Maximization: Consonant clusters are maintained within a syllable as long as phonotactically permissible.
• Sonority Sequencing Principle: Syllables tend to follow a sonority hierarchy (vowels are more sonorous than consonants).
• Avoidance of Coda Clusters: Nynorsk prefers open syllables (CV) and avoids complex consonant clusters at the end of syllables.

11. Special Considerations:

The compound nature of the word requires careful consideration of morpheme boundaries. However, the syllable division rules are applied consistently across the entire word, regardless of the morphemic structure.
