2. Syllable Division:

Following Nynorsk syllable division rules, which prioritize vowel sounds and avoid breaking consonant clusters unless they are complex and unpronounceable as a unit, the word is divided as follows (see JSON output for the orthographic representation).

3. Morphemic Analysis:

• blender-: Borrowed from English "blender". Function: Noun base. Origin: English.
• inn-: Prefix meaning "in" or "into". Function: Adverbial prefix modifying the following element. Origin: Old Norse inn.
• stilling: Root meaning "setting", "position", or "condition". Function: Noun. Origin: Old Norse stilli.

5. Phonetic Transcription:

/ˈblɛndərˌɪnːstɪlːɪŋ/

6. Edge Case Review:

The double 'l' and 'n' in "stilling" are common in Nynorsk and don't present a significant syllabification challenge. The 'r' after a vowel is a typical feature of Nynorsk pronunciation.

7. Grammatical Role:

9. Phonological Comparison:

• datamaskin (computer): da-ta-maskin. Similar structure with compound elements. Stress on the first syllable.
• kjøkkenbord (kitchen table): kjøk-ken-bord. Similar compound structure. Stress on the first syllable.

The difference in stress placement in "blenderinnstilling" (second syllable) compared to "datamaskin" and "kjøkkenbord" (first syllable) is likely due to the prefix "inn-" influencing the stress pattern. "fjernsynsapparat" shows a more complex stress pattern due to its length.

Some dialects might slightly reduce the vowel in the unstressed syllables, but the syllable division remains the same.
