Analysis of "avnasjonalisere" (Norwegian Nynorsk)

1. Pronunciation Considerations:

The word "avnasjonalisere" is a verb meaning "to denationalize." Pronunciation in Nynorsk is relatively consistent with orthography, but vowel quality and consonant clusters require careful consideration. The 'v' is pronounced, and the 's' before 'j' is pronounced as /s/.

2. Syllable Division:

Following Nynorsk syllable division rules, which generally favor maximizing onsets (consonant clusters at the beginning of a syllable) and respecting vowel sequences, the division is as follows.

3. Morphemic Analysis:

• av-: Prefix, from Old Norse af, meaning "off," "away from," or "de-". (Germanic origin, prefix)
• nasjon-: Root, from French nation, ultimately from Latin natio meaning "birth, origin, people". (Latin-derived root)
• -alisere: Suffix, derived from French -aliser and ultimately Latin -alis (adjectival suffix) + -izare (verb-forming suffix). Indicates the process of making something national. (Latin-derived suffix)

4. Stress Identification:

The primary stress falls on the penult (second-to-last syllable): na-sjo-na-li-se-re.
