5. Phonetic Transcription:

6. Edge Case Review:

The 'ltn' cluster is a relatively common but potentially challenging sequence in Nynorsk. It's generally treated as a permissible onset, but pronunciation can vary slightly regionally. The double 'd' at the end is also a feature that requires careful transcription.

The differences in stress placement are due to the varying morphological structures and the inherent stress patterns of the root words within each compound. "Forvaltningsledd" has a longer root ("valtnings-") which attracts the stress.

10. Division Rules:

• Vowel Peak: Each syllable must contain a vowel sound.
• Sonority Sequencing: Syllable structure follows the sonority sequencing principle, with sounds decreasing in sonority from the syllable onset to the coda.

11. Special Considerations:

The 'ltn' cluster is a potential point of variation, but is generally accepted as a valid onset in Nynorsk. Regional dialects might pronounce it slightly differently.

12. Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations:

Some dialects might reduce the vowel in the final syllable ("-ledd") to a schwa [ə]. This wouldn't significantly alter the syllable division, but would affect the phonetic realization.
