3. Morphemic Analysis:

• etterskotts-: Prefix, derived from "etter" (after) + "skott" (installment, portion). Indicates something happening after the fact. Origin: Old Norse. Morphological function: Adverbial prefix modifying the noun.
• bevilgning: Root + Suffix. "bevilg-" (grant, approve) + "-ning" (nominalizing suffix). Origin: Old Norse/Germanic. Morphological function: Forms a noun denoting the act of granting.

The consonant cluster "sk" is common in Norwegian and doesn't pose a significant syllabification challenge. The "tt" represents a geminate consonant, which is phonemically significant in Nynorsk and affects syllable weight. The final "ng" is a velar nasal and forms a single phoneme.
