1. Pronunciation Considerations:

The word "fritakelsesgrunn" is a complex noun in Nynorsk, meaning "ground for exemption." Its pronunciation involves several consonant clusters and vowel qualities typical of the language. The 'r' is alveolar, and vowel qualities are relatively consistent with standard Nynorsk pronunciation.

2. Syllable Division:

Following Nynorsk syllable division rules, which prioritize maximizing onsets (consonant clusters at the beginning of a syllable) and avoiding stranded consonants, the division is as follows (detailed in the JSON output).

3. Morphemic Analysis:

• fritak-: Root, derived from the verb frita ("to exempt"). Origin: Old Norse fríta. Morphological function: Forms the base meaning of exemption.
• -else-: Suffix, derived from the noun else ("exemption"). Origin: Old Norse elsa. Morphological function: Forms a nominalization.

• -grunn: Root, meaning "ground" or "reason". Origin: Old Norse grund. Morphological function: Specifies the basis for the exemption.

6. Edge Case Review:
