• industri (root): Borrowed from French industrie, ultimately from Latin industria (diligence, skill). Morphological function: Noun, denoting a branch of economic activity.

6. Edge Case Review:

The 'd' in 'bekledning' can be subject to lenition (weakening) or elision in colloquial speech, but this doesn't affect the underlying syllabification. The consonant cluster 'str' in 'industri' is common in Nynorsk and doesn't pose a significant challenge.

The word is primarily a noun. Syllabification and stress remain consistent regardless of its grammatical function within a sentence.

• Grammatical Category: Noun (masculine gender)
