3. Morphemic Analysis:

6. Edge Case Review:

The 'tt' in fattar represents a geminate consonant, which is common in Nynorsk and affects syllable weight. The 'r' sound is alveolar, and its pronunciation can vary regionally.

• universitet (university): /ʉniˈvɛrsitɛt/ - Syllables: u-ni-ver-si-tet. Borrowed word, stress on the third syllable. The difference here is due to the word's origin and established pronunciation patterns.

10. Division Rules:

• Onset Maximization: Consonant clusters are generally kept together in the onset of a syllable (e.g., pr- in produksjon).
• Vowel-Centric Syllables: Each syllable typically contains one vowel sound.
• Geminate Consonants: Geminate consonants (double consonants) are treated as a single unit within a syllable, affecting syllable weight.

11. Special Considerations:

The compound nature of the word requires careful consideration of root boundaries. The 'r' sound can be pronounced differently depending on the dialect.
