10. Syllable Division Rules Applied:

• Onset Maximization: Consonant clusters are generally kept together at the beginning of a syllable (e.g., tr- in tren-).
• Vowel Break: Each vowel generally forms the nucleus of a syllable, leading to syllable division between vowel sequences (e.g., pe-ri-o-de).
• Consonant-Sonorant Sequencing: Consonant-sonorant sequences (like ng) are treated as a single unit within a syllable.

The compound nature of the word requires careful consideration of morpheme boundaries, but these do not necessarily dictate syllable boundaries. Nynorsk allows for relatively complex consonant clusters, which can influence syllable structure.

12. Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations:

Regional variations in vowel pronunciation might exist, but they generally don't affect the core syllable division. Some dialects might slightly reduce the vowel in the unstressed syllables.
