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

3. Morphemic Analysis:

• av-: Prefix, Old Norse origin, meaning "off," "from," or "away." (Function: Separative)
• tale: Root, Old Norse tala meaning "speech," "number," "account." (Function: Core meaning related to agreement)
• -inn-: Inflectional suffix, Nynorsk, forming a definite noun. (Function: Definiteness)
• -gå-: Root, Old Norse gá meaning "to go," "to proceed." (Function: Action of entering)
• -else: Suffix, Germanic origin, forming a noun from a verb, denoting the act of doing something. (Function: Nominalization)

5. Phonetic Transcription:

/avˈtɑːlˌeɪnːɡɔːˌeːlʃə/

6. Syllable Breakdown & Rule Application:

Here's a detailed breakdown of each syllable, with IPA transcription, rule application, and potential exceptions:

• av /av/ - Open syllable. Rule: Syllable division occurs before a vowel. No exceptions.
• ta /tɑː/ - Open syllable. Rule: Syllable division occurs before a vowel. No exceptions.
• le /le/ - Open syllable. Rule: Syllable division occurs before a vowel. No exceptions.
• inn /ɪnː/ - Closed syllable. Rule: Consonant clusters are generally maintained within a syllable unless breaking them creates an illegal syllable structure. The 'nn' is a geminate consonant, strengthening the syllable.
• gå /ɡɔː/ - Open syllable. Rule: Syllable division occurs before a vowel. No exceptions.
• e /eː/ - Open syllable. Rule: Syllable division occurs before a vowel. No exceptions.
• lse /lʃə/ - Closed syllable. Rule: Syllable division occurs before a vowel. The 'ls' cluster is permissible in Nynorsk.

7. Edge Case Review:

The geminate 'nn' in "inn" is a common feature of Nynorsk and affects syllable weight. The 'ls' cluster in "lse" is also permissible, but could be simplified in some dialects.

8. Grammatical Role:

The word is primarily a noun. Syllabification and stress remain consistent regardless of grammatical function, as it's a single, complex lexical item.

11. Phonological Comparison:
