• underlagsmateriale: un-der-lags-ma-te-ria-le. Similar 'underlag' root, stress on the antepenultimate syllable due to the longer compound structure. The difference in stress placement highlights how stress shifts in longer compounds.

10. Division Rules:

• Onset Maximization: Prioritizing consonant clusters at the beginning of syllables (e.g., 'ved', 'lik').
• Avoid Stranded Consonants: Avoiding leaving single consonants at the end of a syllable unless necessary (e.g., 'holds').
• Vowel-Centric Syllables: Each syllable generally contains a vowel sound.

11. Special Considerations:

The compound nature of the word presents a challenge in determining the "natural" syllable boundaries. However, the rules of Nynorsk prioritize maintaining the morphemic structure as much as possible within the syllable division. Regional variations in pronunciation might affect the perceived boundaries, but the written form dictates the analysis here.
