The differences in syllable division arise from the specific consonant and vowel sequences in each word. "blodgruppeforsking" has a longer sequence of vowels and consonants, requiring more careful division based on sonority and permissible syllable structures.

10. Division Rules:

• Onset Maximization: Norwegian prefers to maximize the number of consonants in the onset of a syllable.
• Sonority Sequencing Principle: Syllables tend to follow a sonority hierarchy (vowels are more sonorous than consonants).
• Vowel Break: Each vowel generally forms the nucleus of a syllable.

11. Special Considerations:

The connecting vowel "-e-" is a common feature in Norwegian compound nouns and doesn't significantly alter the syllabification process. Regional variations in pronunciation might affect the precise realization of vowel qualities, but not the core syllable structure.
