10. Division Rules:

• Onset Maximization: Consonant clusters are generally kept together in the onset of a syllable (e.g., trygg-).
• Vowel Peak: Each syllable must contain a vowel.
• Coda Restriction: Nynorsk generally avoids complex codas (consonant clusters at the end of a syllable).
• Linking Morphemes: Linking morphemes like '-s-' do not form separate syllables.

11. Special Considerations:

The pronunciation of vowels can vary slightly depending on dialect. However, the syllable division remains consistent. The 'j' sound can sometimes be palatalized, but this doesn't affect the syllabic structure.
