9. Phonological Comparison:

• utlandsk: /ˈʉːtˌlɑnːsk/ - Syllables: ut-land-sk. Similar structure, stress on the second syllable.
• landsby: /ˈlɑnːsˌbyː/ - Syllables: lands-by. Similar onset cluster "lands-", stress on the first syllable.
• prefiksjon: /prɛˌfiksˈjɔn/ - Syllables: pre-fiks-jon. Shares the "prefiks" root, stress shifts to the final syllable due to the suffix "-jon".

10. Division Rules:

• Onset Maximization: Consonant clusters are generally kept together at the beginning of a syllable (e.g., "prɛfiks").
• Vowel Centering: Each syllable typically contains a vowel sound.
• Avoidance of Stranded Consonants: Consonants are not left at the end of a syllable unless necessary due to the word's structure.
• Compound Word Syllabification: Compound words are often syllabified based on the individual components.

11. Special Considerations:

The linking 's' between 'land' and 'prefiks' doesn't create a new syllable on its own; it's integrated into the preceding syllable. The double 'n' in 'land' affects syllable weight but doesn't change the division.
