3. Morphemic Analysis:

• av-: Prefix, originating from Old Norse af, meaning "off, away from". Morphological function: Separative.
• stemm-: Root, originating from Old Norse stemma, meaning "voice, vote". Morphological function: Core meaning related to voting.

5. Phonetic Transcription:

/avˈstɛmːɪŋsˌrunːdə/

6. Edge Case Review:

The double consonants (mm, nn, rr) are common in Nynorsk and affect syllable weight. The 'v' sound can sometimes be realized as a labiodental approximant [ʋ] depending on dialect.

7. Grammatical Role:

"avstemmingsrunde" functions primarily as a noun. Syllabification and stress remain consistent regardless of its grammatical context within a sentence.

8. Definition & Semantics:

9. Phonological Comparison:

• valomgang: /vaˈlɔmˌɡɑŋ/ - Syllables: val-om-gang. Similar structure with consonant clusters, but stress on the first syllable.
• stemmerett: /ˈstɛmːəˌrɛtː/ - Syllables: stem-me-rett. Shares the "stemm-" root, but different suffix and stress pattern.
• gjennomføring: /ɡjʏnːɔmˈføːrɪŋ/ - Syllables: gjen-nom-fø-ring. Similar length and complexity, but different vowel qualities and stress. The initial consonant cluster is more complex.

10. Division Rules:

• Onset Maximization: Consonant clusters are generally kept together in the onset of a syllable (e.g., "st" in "stemmings").
• Vowel Sequencing: Each vowel generally forms the nucleus of a separate syllable (e.g., "ings" is divided into "ings").
• Sonority Sequencing: Syllables are structured to follow the sonority hierarchy (vowels are more sonorous than consonants).

11. Special Considerations:

The geminate consonants (double consonants) affect syllable weight and can influence vowel duration. Regional variations in vowel pronunciation might exist, but do not significantly alter the syllable division.
