3. Morphemic Analysis:

• folk-: Root. Origin: Old Norse fólk meaning "people, folk". Morphological function: Denotes the cultural group associated with the music.

6. Edge Case Review:

The smil cluster is a potential edge case. While Norwegian allows consonant clusters, this one is relatively complex. However, it's commonly pronounced as a single unit, justifying its inclusion within a single syllable.
