The double consonant "nn" in "vinning" is a common feature in Nynorsk and doesn't present a significant syllabification challenge. The consonant cluster "br" is permissible as an onset.

8. Definition & Semantics:

• Grammatical Category: Noun (neuter gender)
• Translation: Financial crime, gain-related offense.
• Synonyms: økonomisk kriminalitet (economic crime), svindel (fraud)

• forhandlingar (negotiations): for-han-dling-ar. Similar compound structure and stress pattern.
• utdanning (education): ut-dan-ning. Similar vowel length and consonant clusters.

The differences in syllable division arise from the specific consonant and vowel sequences in each word. "Vinningslovbrott" has a longer sequence of consonants in the middle ("nslovbr") which influences the division.

10. Division Rules:

• Onset Maximization: Nynorsk favors maximizing the number of consonants in the onset of a syllable.
• Vowel-Centric Syllables: Each syllable must contain a vowel sound.
• Compound Word Syllabification: Compound words are generally syllabified based on the individual morphemes.

11. Special Considerations:

The genitive "-s-" is often treated as a separate syllable, but in this case, it's tightly bound to "vinning" and forms a single syllable. Regional variations in pronunciation might affect the vowel quality, but not the core syllabification.
