The 'g' is a velar fricative /ɣ/, and the 'k' is a voiceless velar stop /k/. Vowel qualities are generally similar to those in English, but with some subtle differences.

2. Syllable Division:

The syllable division will be based on the sonority principle, maximizing onsets and respecting consonant clusters.

3. Morphemic Analysis:

• adgang: (prefix/root) - From Danish/Norwegian "adgang" meaning "access". Origin: Germanic. Morphological function: Indicates access or entry.
• s-: (linking morpheme) - A linking element common in compound nouns.
• kontroll: (root) - From French "contrôle" via Danish/Norwegian. Origin: Latin "controtolla". Morphological function: Indicates control.

4. Stress Identification:

In Norwegian Nynorsk, stress is generally on the first syllable of the root word in compound nouns. Therefore, the primary stress falls on "kon-".

5. Phonetic Transcription:

/ˈaɖɡɑŋsˌkɔntɾɔlː/

6. Syllable Breakdown & Rule Application:

• ad-: /aɖ/ - Open syllable. Rule: Vowel followed by a consonant. Potential exception: The 'd' could potentially form an onset with a following vowel in a different context, but here it closes the syllable.
• gang: /ɡɑŋ/ - Closed syllable. Rule: Vowel followed by consonant cluster 'ng'.
• s-: /s/ - Open syllable. Rule: Single consonant forms a syllable. This is a linking morpheme.
• kon-: /kɔn/ - Closed syllable. Rule: Vowel followed by consonant 'n'. Primary stress.
• troll: /tɾɔlː/ - Closed syllable. Rule: Vowel followed by consonant cluster 'tr'. The 'lː' indicates a geminate consonant (long consonant).

7. Edge Case Review:

The 'ng' cluster in "gang" is common in Norwegian and doesn't present a significant edge case. The geminate 'lː' is also standard. The linking 's' is a common feature of compound nouns.
