6. Edge Case Review:

The double 'k' in trykk is a common feature in Nynorsk and affects the syllable weight. The 'n' in senkning can sometimes be weakly pronounced, especially in rapid speech.

7. Grammatical Role:

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

8. Definition & Semantics:

• Definition: The act or process of reducing blood pressure.
• Translation: Blood pressure lowering.
• Grammatical Category: Noun (feminine gender).
• Synonyms: blodtrykksreduksjon (more formal), trykkfall (pressure drop).
• Antonyms: blodtrykksstigning (blood pressure increase).
• Examples:
  • "Ho fekk ordina medisin for blodtrykkssenkning." (She was prescribed medication for blood pressure lowering.)
  • "Blodtrykkssenkning er viktig for å førebygge hjartesjukdom." (Blood pressure lowering is important for preventing heart disease.)

9. Phonological Comparison:

• himmelblå: him-mel-blå - Similar syllable structure with consonant clusters. Stress on the first syllable.
• fotballsko: fot-ball-sko - Compound noun, stress on the first root.
• fjellbekk: fjel-lbekk - Similar vowel sounds and consonant clusters. Stress on the first syllable.

The differences lie in the specific consonant clusters and vowel qualities, but the general syllable division principles remain consistent. Blodtrykkssenkning has a longer and more complex structure due to the multiple roots and the suffix.

10. Division Rules:

• Onset Maximization: Consonant clusters are maximized within the onset of a syllable (e.g., bl-).
• Vowel Peak Principle: Each syllable must contain a vowel sound as its nucleus.
• Sonority Sequencing Principle: Sounds within a syllable are ordered by decreasing sonority (vowels are most sonorous, followed by semi-vowels, fricatives, nasals, and finally stops).
• Compound Word Syllabification: Syllables are generally divided at the boundaries of the root words within a compound.

11. Special Considerations:

The double 'k' in trykk creates a heavier syllable. The 'n' in senkning can be reduced in rapid speech, potentially affecting the perceived syllable boundary. Regional variations in vowel pronunciation might exist, but they don't fundamentally alter the syllable division.
