2. Syllable Division:

Following Nynorsk syllable division rules, which prioritize maximizing onsets and respecting vowel sequences, the word is divided as follows (see JSON output for the orthographic representation).

3. Morphemic Analysis:

• Prefix: fer- (from Old Norse fær meaning 'ready, complete'). Function: Adverbial prefix indicating completion.
• Root: dig (from Old Norse diga meaning 'to do, make'). Function: Verb root.
