• utvikling (development): ut-vik-ling. Simpler structure, but shares the "-ling" suffix, stress on the second syllable.

The differences in syllable division arise from the varying consonant clusters at the beginning of the words. "virkeliggjørelse" has a more complex initial cluster, leading to a different initial syllable division.

10. Division Rules:

• Onset Maximization: Consonant clusters are maximized in the onset of syllables (e.g., "virk-").
• Vowel Peak Principle: Each syllable must contain a vowel.
• Sonority Sequencing Principle: Syllables generally follow a sonority hierarchy (vowels are more sonorous than consonants).
• Consonant Cluster Resolution: Complex consonant clusters are broken down based on phonotactic constraints.

11. Special Considerations:

The "gg" cluster is treated as a single unit for syllabification, despite representing two sounds. The suffix "-lse" can be challenging, but the vowel 'e' dictates the syllable break.

12. Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations:

Regional variations in Nynorsk pronunciation might affect the vowel qualities, but the core syllable division remains consistent. Some dialects might slightly reduce the vowel in the unstressed syllables.
