The 'r' is typically alveolar, and vowel reduction is less common than in some other Scandinavian languages.

3. Morphemic Analysis:

• bruker-: Root. Origin: Old Norse brúkari. Meaning: "user". Morphological function: Noun stem.
• -in-: Inflectional prefix. Origin: Germanic. Morphological function: Definite article marker (nynorsk definite article is often suffixed, but can appear as a prefix in compounds).
• -volvering: Suffix. Origin: Danish/Norwegian borrowing from Dutch bevolking (population) + -ing (verbal noun suffix). Meaning: "involvement". Morphological function: Verbal noun, indicating the process of involving.

The consistent stress pattern on the second syllable in these words demonstrates a common feature of Nynorsk compound nouns. The syllable division rules prioritize onsets, leading to similar structures.

10. Division Rules:

• Onset Maximization: Consonant clusters are generally kept together at the beginning of a syllable (e.g., "br-" in "bruker").
• Avoid Stranded Consonants: Consonants are not left at the end of a syllable unless they are part of a diphthong or a consonant cluster.
