The differences in stress placement are due to the length and structure of the compound words. "Tegningsprovisjon" is relatively shorter and the stress naturally falls on the second element.

10. Division Rules:

• Onset Maximization: Prioritizing consonant clusters at the beginning of syllables (e.g., "pr-" in "provisjon").
• Avoidance of Syllable-Final Consonant Clusters: Breaking up consonant clusters to avoid ending a syllable with multiple consonants.
• Vowel-Centric Syllables: Each syllable generally contains a vowel sound.

11. Special Considerations:

The "ng" cluster in "tegnings" can sometimes be treated as a single unit, but it's more common to divide it as "nings" in this context, especially given the stress. Regional variations in pronunciation might influence the perceived syllable boundaries, but the proposed division is standard.
