The differences in syllable count are primarily due to the addition of prefixes and suffixes, which is common in Norwegian compounding. The core syllable structures (onset-rime) remain consistent.

10. Division Rules:

• Onset Maximization: Consonant clusters are generally kept together in the onset of a syllable.
• Vowel Peak: Each syllable must contain a vowel.
• Sonority Sequencing: Syllable structure follows the sonority sequencing principle (increasing sonority from onset to nucleus, decreasing from nucleus to coda).

11. Special Considerations:

The 'r' sound in Norwegian can be challenging for non-native speakers. Its pronunciation can vary regionally. The compound nature of the word requires careful consideration of morphemic boundaries when determining syllable divisions.
