9. Phonological Comparison:

• forbindelse (connection): for-bin-del-se. Similar syllable structure with consonant clusters.
• utvikling (development): ut-vik-ling. Demonstrates the tendency to break after a single vowel.
• overflate (surface): o-ver-fla-te. Shows a simpler syllable structure, but still adheres to onset maximization.

The differences in syllable division arise from the varying consonant clusters and vowel sequences within each word. "korrosjonsbeskyttelse" has more complex clusters, leading to longer syllables.

10. Division Rules:

• Onset Maximization: Consonant clusters are generally kept together at the beginning of a syllable.
• Vowel Break: Syllables are typically divided after each vowel.
• Avoid Stranded Consonants: Consonants are not left at the end of a syllable unless they form part of a permissible cluster.

11. Special Considerations:

The "sj" cluster in "korrosjons" can sometimes be treated as a single phoneme, but for syllabification, it's generally split as /ʃ/. Regional variations in pronunciation might affect the precise realization of vowel sounds, but not the core syllable division.
