The 'kk' cluster is a common feature in Nynorsk and is treated as a single consonant sound. The 'j' before 'a' creates a glide, and the 'r' is alveolar.

• Grammatical Category: Noun (feminine gender)

• Synonyms: Trykkerikunst (more common), bokkunst (book art - broader meaning)

• arbeidsliv: ar-beids-liv (compound noun, stress on the second syllable)

The syllable structure in "boktrykkjarkunst" is consistent with these other compound nouns in Nynorsk, exhibiting a preference for open syllables and stress on the second element. The 'kk' cluster is also present in "arbeidsliv", demonstrating a similar handling of consonant clusters.

10. Division Rules:

• Onset-Rime Principle: Syllables are formed around a vowel nucleus, with preceding consonants forming the onset and following consonants forming the rime.
• Avoid Breaking Consonant Clusters: Consonant clusters are generally kept together within a syllable unless they are complex and difficult to pronounce.
• Open Syllable Preference: Nynorsk favors open syllables (CV) over closed syllables (CVC).

11. Special Considerations:

The compound nature of the word requires careful consideration of morpheme boundaries. However, the syllable division follows the phonological rules regardless of the morphemic structure. Regional variations in pronunciation might affect the precise realization of vowels, but not the syllable division itself.
