6. Syllable Breakdown & Rule Application:

Here's a detailed breakdown of each syllable, with rule explanations:

• av-: /ɑv/ - Open syllable. Rule: Syllables are formed around a vowel. No consonant clusters are broken.
• stiv-: /stɪv/ - Closed syllable. Rule: Consonant clusters are maintained as onsets when possible. 'st' is a permissible onset in Nynorsk.
• nings-: /ˈnɪŋs/ - Closed syllable, stressed. Rule: Stress typically falls on the penultimate syllable in Nynorsk. 'ng' is a valid syllable-internal consonant cluster.
• plate-: /ˌplɑːtə/ - Open syllable. Rule: Vowel followed by consonant(s).

7. Edge Case Review:

The 'st' cluster is a common onset in Nynorsk and doesn't present a significant edge case. The 'ng' cluster is also standard. The compound nature of the word doesn't alter the basic syllabification rules.
