6. Syllable Breakdown & Rule Application:

Here's a detailed breakdown of each syllable, with IPA transcription, rule application, and potential exceptions:

• dju-: /d͡jyp/ - Open syllable. Rule: Onset maximization. The 'dj' forms a single onset. Exception: 'dj' is a complex onset, but acceptable in Nynorsk.
• pa-: /pɑ/ - Open syllable. Rule: Vowel-initial syllable. Stress falls here.
• re-: /ɾe/ - Open syllable. Rule: Consonant-vowel structure.
