9. Phonological Comparison:

• fotballag: /fɔtˈbɑlːɑɡ/ - Syllables: fot-bal-lag. Similar in having consonant clusters, but stress is on the second syllable.
• arbeidsstyrke: /ˈɑrˌbeːɪdsˌstyrkə/ - Syllables: ar-beids-styr-ke. Similar in compound structure and vowel qualities, but stress is on the first syllable.
• administrasjon: /ɑdˌmɪnɪˈstrɑːʃɔn/ - Syllables: ad-mi-ni-stra-sjon. Similar in having multiple syllables and a suffix, but stress is on the fourth syllable. The difference in stress placement is due to the length and complexity of the word.

10. Division Rules:

• Onset Maximization: Consonant clusters are generally kept together at the beginning of a syllable (e.g., "tr", "stj").
• Avoid Stranded Consonants: Consonants are not left at the end of a syllable unless they form a natural coda (e.g., "n" in "ering").
• Vowel-Centric Syllables: Each syllable generally contains a vowel sound.

11. Special Considerations:

The linking vowel "-e-" is a common feature in Nynorsk compound nouns and influences syllable division. The pronunciation of the "r" sound can vary regionally, but it doesn't significantly affect the syllabification.

12. Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations:

Some dialects might reduce the vowel in "-ering" to a schwa /ə/, but this doesn't alter the syllable division.
