The consistent stress pattern on the first syllable in these compounds demonstrates the typical stress assignment rule in Norwegian. The syllable division also follows similar principles of maximizing onsets.

10. Division Rules:

• Onset Maximization: Consonant clusters are generally kept together in the onset of a syllable.
• Vowel-Centric Syllables: Each syllable typically contains one vowel sound.
• Compound Word Syllabification: Syllable boundaries often align with morpheme boundaries in compound words.

11. Special Considerations:

The "nn" cluster in "inn" can sometimes be considered a single unit, but dividing it into two syllables (in-n) is more common and phonologically justifiable.

12. Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations:

Regional variations in vowel pronunciation might exist, but they generally do not affect the syllable division.
