Division Rules Applied:

• Onset Maximization: Norwegian prefers to include as many consonants as possible in the onset of a syllable.
• Vowel Peak: Each syllable must contain a vowel.
• Compound Word Syllabification: Compound words are generally syllabified by treating each component as a separate word.
