• datamaskin: (computer) – da-ta-mas-kin /daːtaˈmɑʃkin/ – Shows how consonant clusters are often maintained within a syllable.

The differences in syllable division arise from the specific consonant and vowel sequences in each word. "trompetblomster" has a relatively straightforward structure, while "fotballspelar" has more complex consonant clusters requiring careful division.

10. Division Rules:

The word is a compound noun, which influences the stress pattern and syllable division. The "-ster" suffix is a common plural marker for weak masculine nouns, and its pronunciation is relatively consistent.

12. Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations:

Regional variations in vowel quality might exist, but the syllable division remains consistent. Some dialects might slightly reduce the vowel in the unstressed syllables.
