6. Syllable Breakdown & Rule Application:

Here's a detailed breakdown of each syllable, with IPA transcription, rule application, and potential exceptions:

• trykk: /ˈtrʏkː/ - Closed syllable. Rule: Maximize onset. The 'tr' cluster forms the onset. Exception: The geminate 'kk' is common in Nynorsk and doesn't trigger syllable division.

• mu: /mʉ/ - Open syllable. Rule: Vowel peak principle. The vowel 'u' forms the nucleus.
• ni: /nɪ/ - Open syllable. Rule: Vowel peak principle. The vowel 'i' forms the nucleus.
