6. Edge Case Review:

The consonant cluster "-ls-" is a potential point of complexity. However, in Nynorsk, such clusters are generally tolerated within a syllable, especially when they follow a vowel. The 's' before 'juk' is also a common occurrence and doesn't necessitate syllable separation.

"fornøyelsessjuk" functions primarily as a noun. Syllabification and stress remain consistent regardless of its grammatical context within a sentence.
