The differences in stress placement are due to the length and complexity of "universitetsstipendiat" and the inherent stress patterns of compound nouns in Nynorsk.

10. Division Rules:

• Onset Maximization: Consonant clusters are generally kept together in the onset of a syllable (e.g., "st" in "stipend").
• Vowel Breakup: Each vowel generally forms the nucleus of a separate syllable (e.g., "u-ni-ver-si-te-ts").
• Sonority Sequencing: Syllables are structured to follow the sonority sequencing principle, with sounds decreasing in sonority from the nucleus outwards.

11. Special Considerations:

The word is a compound, and the syllabification reflects the individual morphemes. There are no significant exceptions to the standard Nynorsk rules. Regional variations in pronunciation might affect the precise realization of vowels, but not the core syllabification.
