1. Examination & Pronunciation:

The word "demonstrasjonsstreik" (demonstration strike) is a compound noun in Norwegian Nynorsk. It's pronounced with a relatively even stress distribution, though the final syllable tends to be slightly weaker. The 'j' sound is a palatal approximant /j/. The 's' is generally alveolar /s/.

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 division is as follows (detailed in the JSON output).

3. Morphemic Analysis:

• demonstrasjons-: Derived from the Latin demonstrare (to demonstrate). It functions as a nominalizing prefix/stem indicating the act of demonstrating.
• streik: From the German Streik (strike), ultimately from Middle Low German strīke. It's the root denoting the action of striking (work stoppage).

4. Stress Identification:

The primary stress falls on the second syllable: "mon-stra-sjons-streik". Nynorsk generally favors stress on the first syllable of the root, or the syllable immediately preceding it in compounds.
