Detailed Syllable Analysis:

Division Rules Applied:

1. Maximize Onsets: Attempt to include as many consonants as possible in the onset of a syllable.
2. Sonority Sequencing Principle: Consonants are arranged in order of decreasing sonority within a syllable.
3. Vowel-Following Consonant: Consonants following vowels generally belong to the subsequent syllable.
4. Stress Rule: Primary stress falls on the first syllable of the word (or the first element in a compound word).

Special Considerations:

• The 'sj' cluster is a common feature of Norwegian and is treated as a single onset.
• Long vowels (indicated by 'ː') do not affect syllable division but are important for pronunciation.
• The compound nature of the word influences stress placement.

Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations:

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