• informationsflöde: (information flow) - in-for-ma-t͡si-ons-flö-de. Similar initial syllables, stress on the root.

The differences in syllable division arise from the varying suffixes and endings, but the core principle of maximizing onsets and codas remains consistent.

10. Division Rules:

• Onset Maximization: Syllables attempt to include as many initial consonants as possible.
• Coda Maximization: Syllables attempt to include as many final consonants as possible.
• Vowel Center: Each syllable must contain a vowel sound.
• Consonant Cluster Resolution: Complex consonant clusters are broken down based on sonority hierarchy.

11. Special Considerations:

The pronunciation of /ɧ/ (the "sj-sound") can vary regionally. This doesn't affect the syllabification, but it can influence the phonetic realization. The genitive plural suffix "-ernas" is a relatively fixed unit and doesn't typically undergo further division.
