The word "finanskomitémedlem" (finance committee member) is a compound noun in Norwegian Nynorsk. Its pronunciation involves a series of syllables, with stress typically falling on the root syllable. The word is relatively long and complex, requiring careful application of syllabification rules.

2. Syllable Division:

Following Nynorsk syllabification rules, which generally favor maximizing onsets (consonant clusters at the beginning of a syllable), the word is divided as follows (see JSON output for the orthographic representation).

3. Morphemic Analysis:

• finans-: Prefix/Root (from French finance, ultimately from Latin financia meaning 'end, limit, resource'). Functions as the core denoting 'finance'.
• komité-: Root (from French comité, ultimately from Latin comitatus meaning 'companionship, retinue'). Denotes 'committee'.
• medlem: Suffix/Root (from Old Norse meðlimr meaning 'member, limb'). Denotes 'member'.

4. Stress Identification:

5. Phonetic Transcription:

/fiˈnɑnsˌkɔmɪˈteːˌmedlem/

6. Edge Case Review:

Nynorsk allows for both "hard" and "soft" pronunciation of consonants. The 'n' in 'finans' can be slightly palatalized depending on dialect. The 'm' in 'medlem' is a common syllable-final consonant.

7. Grammatical Role:

The word is primarily a noun. Syllabification and stress remain consistent regardless of its grammatical function within a sentence.

8. Definition & Semantics:

• Definition: A member of a finance committee.
• Grammatical Category: Noun (masculine or feminine, depending on the specific member)
• Translation: Finance committee member
• Synonyms: Økonomiutvalmedlem (economy committee member)
• Antonyms: (None directly applicable, as it's a role)
• Examples:
  • "Han er eit aktivt finanskomitémedlem." (He is an active finance committee member.)
  • "Finanskomitémedlemene diskuterte budsjettet." (The finance committee members discussed the budget.)

9. Phonological Comparison:

• økonomiutval: /øːkɔˈnɔmiˌutval/ - Similar syllable structure with consonant clusters. Stress on the first syllable of the root.
• styremøte: /ˈstyːrəˌmøːtə/ - Similar vowel qualities and consonant clusters. Stress on the first syllable.
• kommunestyre: /kɔmʊˈnəˌstyːrə/ - Similar compound structure. Stress on the second syllable of the first part.

The differences in stress placement are due to the varying lengths and morphological structures of the compound words. "finanskomitémedlem" has a longer first component, leading to stress on the first syllable.

10. Division Rules:

• Onset Maximization: Consonant clusters are generally kept together at the beginning of a syllable (e.g., "fin-ans").
• Vowel Peak: Each syllable must contain a vowel sound.
• Sonority Sequencing: Syllables follow a sonority hierarchy, with sounds becoming less sonorous towards the end of the syllable.

11. Special Considerations:

The compound nature of the word requires careful consideration of morpheme boundaries. The 'm' at the end of "komité" and the beginning of "medlem" creates a potential point of ambiguity, but is resolved by maintaining the morphemic integrity.

12. Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations:

Regional variations in Nynorsk pronunciation might affect vowel qualities and consonant palatalization, but the core syllabification remains consistent.
