The word "energiøkonomiserende" is a complex compound word common in Norwegian Nynorsk, built from several morphemes. Pronunciation follows the general rules of Nynorsk, with emphasis on vowel clarity and consonant clusters. The 'ø' sound is a key feature, and the final '-ende' suffix is a present participle marker.

3. Morphemic Analysis:

• energi-: Root. From Latin energia (energy). Noun stem.

10. Syllable Division Rules Applied:

• Vowel Peak Principle: Each syllable must contain a vowel sound.
• Onset-Rime Structure: Syllables are structured around an onset (initial consonants) and a rime (vowel and following consonants).
• Avoid Breaking Consonant Clusters: Consonant clusters are generally kept intact within a syllable unless they are exceptionally long or complex.
• Stress-Timing: Nynorsk is stress-timed, influencing syllable duration and prominence.

11. Special Considerations:

The 'ø' vowel is a unique feature of Norwegian and requires careful consideration in syllabification. The compound nature of the word necessitates a nuanced approach to stress assignment.
