The pronunciation involves a mix of voiced and unvoiced consonants, and vowel qualities typical of the language.

2. Syllable Division:

3. Morphemic Analysis:

6. Edge Case Review:

The "r" sounds in Norwegian can be challenging. The "r" in "bryter" is often a retroflex approximant [ɻ], but can also be a trill [r] depending on dialect. The "org" cluster is a common one, and is generally pronounced as a single unit.
