The 'g' is a voiced velar fricative /ɣ/, and the 'sch' is a voiceless postalveolar fricative /ʃ/.

3. Morphemic Analysis:

• budget: Borrowed from English/French (ultimately from Old North French budgete meaning 'little bag'). Functions as a noun root.
• over-: Prefix, originating from Middle Dutch over, meaning 'over', 'above', 'exceeding'. Functions as a prefix indicating exceeding a limit.
• schrijd-: Root, derived from the verb schrijden (to proceed, step, advance).

Dutch allows for complex consonant clusters, which can sometimes lead to ambiguity in syllabification. However, in this case, the rules are relatively straightforward. The 'sch' cluster is treated as a single unit.

7. Grammatical Role:

The word is primarily a noun. Syllabification doesn't significantly change based on grammatical role, as Dutch doesn't have strong stress shifts based on part of speech.
