9. Phonological Comparison:

• trykkemaskin (printing press): tryk-ke-ma-skin. Similar structure with the 'trykk-' prefix. Stress on the first syllable in this case, due to the shorter word length.

• datasystem (data system): da-ta-sys-tem. Similar suffix '-system'. Stress on the third syllable.

The differences in stress placement are largely due to the length of the words and the presence of different prefixes/roots. Nynorsk stress tends to fall on the penultimate syllable in longer words, while shorter words often stress the first syllable.

10. Division Rules:

• Onset Maximization: Consonant clusters are generally kept together in the onset of a syllable (e.g., trykk-).
• Vowel-Centric Syllabification: Each vowel sound forms the nucleus of a syllable.
• Gemination: Geminated consonants (double consonants) are treated as a single, lengthened consonant within the syllable.

11. Special Considerations:

The 'y' vowel can sometimes be a point of variation in pronunciation, but it's generally consistent in Nynorsk. The 'kk' cluster is a standard feature and doesn't pose a significant challenge to syllabification.
