3. Morphemic Analysis:

• distribu-: Prefix, derived from Latin distribuere ("to distribute"). Function: Indicates the action of distributing.

The 'sj' cluster can sometimes be simplified in rapid speech, but in careful pronunciation, it remains distinct. The vowel quality of 'u' can vary slightly depending on dialect.

9. Phonological Comparison:

• administrasjon: a-dmi-nis-tra-sjon. Similar syllable structure with consonant clusters. Stress on the penult.
• organisasjon: o-rga-ni-sa-sjon. Similar suffix '-sjon', creating a parallel syllable division pattern. Stress on the penult.
• informasjon: i-nfor-ma-sjon. Again, the '-sjon' suffix dictates a similar syllabic structure. Stress on the penult.

These comparisons demonstrate that the '-sjons-' suffix consistently creates a syllable boundary and influences stress placement in Nynorsk nouns.

10. Division Rules:

• Onset Maximization: Consonant clusters are generally kept together in the onset of a syllable (e.g., 'distr-').
• Vowel Peak Principle: Each syllable must contain a vowel.
• Sonority Sequencing Principle: Syllables follow a sonority hierarchy, with sounds becoming more sonorous towards the nucleus (vowel).
• Compound Word Syllabification: Compound words are syllabified based on the individual morphemes.

11. Special Considerations:

The word is a relatively complex compound noun, and its syllabification reflects this complexity. The Latinate origins of the morphemes influence the pronunciation and syllable structure.
