10. Division Rules:

• Onset Maximization: Consonant clusters are maximized within the onset of a syllable (e.g., "vass-").
• Vowel Centering: Each syllable typically contains a vowel sound.
• Sonority Sequencing Principle: Syllable structure follows the sonority sequencing principle, with sounds decreasing in sonority from the nucleus outwards.
• Penultimate Stress: Compound nouns generally receive stress on the penultimate syllable.

11. Special Considerations:

The geminated consonants (ss, ll) require careful consideration in phonetic transcription, but do not affect syllable division. The "sj" cluster is treated as a single unit.

12. Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations:

Regional variations in vowel pronunciation exist, but these do not significantly alter the syllable division. Some dialects might slightly alter the stress, but the penultimate syllable remains the most common location.
