The differences lie in the complexity of consonant clusters and the number of syllables. "trykk-knapprinsipp" has a more complex initial cluster ("tr") and a longer overall structure.

10. Division Rules:

• Onset Maximization: Norwegian prefers to maximize the number of consonants in the onset of a syllable.
• Vowel Centering: Each syllable must contain a vowel.
• Compound Word Syllabification: Compound words are generally syllabified as if they were separate words joined together.

11. Special Considerations:

The double consonants (kk, pp, ss) are treated as single units within their respective syllables. Regional variations in pronunciation might affect vowel quality, but not the core syllabification.
