6. Edge Case Review:

Nynorsk allows for some flexibility in pronunciation, particularly regarding the degree of consonant weakening. However, the syllable division remains consistent regardless of these variations.

The differences in syllable division arise from the different consonant clusters and vowel sequences within each word. "Trygdingsansvar" has a relatively simple structure compared to "utdanningstilbud", which requires more syllable breaks.

The 'd' in "trygdingsansvar" can be reduced or elided in colloquial speech, but this doesn't affect the formal syllable division.

12. Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations:
