The syllable division in "konsertarrangement" is consistent with these examples, demonstrating the typical Norwegian preference for maximizing onsets and avoiding consonant clusters in codas where possible.

10. Division Rules:

• Onset Maximization: Norwegian favors creating syllables with as many consonants in the onset as possible.
• Avoidance of Stranded Consonants: Consonants are generally not left as the sole element of a syllable.
• Vowel-Centric Syllables: Each syllable typically contains a vowel.

11. Special Considerations:

The compound nature of the word is a key consideration. Each component ("konsert" and "arrangement") retains its internal syllable structure within the larger compound.

12. Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations:

Regional variations in vowel pronunciation exist in Norwegian, but these do not significantly affect syllable division. The 'r' sound can also vary slightly in articulation.
