8. Definition & Semantics:

• Definition: A product made from whole grains, not refined grains.
• Translation: Whole grain product
• Grammatical Category: Noun (masculine/neuter depending on context)
• Synonyms: heilkornprodukt (Nynorsk), fullkornvare (Bokmål)
• Antonyms: raffinerte produkt (refined product)

9. Phonological Comparison:

• solskinn: /sɔlˈʃɪn/ - sol-skinn. Similar syllable structure with a compound noun. Stress on the first syllable.
• datamaskin: /ˈdɑtɑmɑʃin/ - da-ta-ma-skin. Compound noun, stress on the first syllable.

The consistent stress pattern on the first syllable in these compound nouns demonstrates a typical Nynorsk phonological characteristic.

10. Division Rules:

• Onset Maximization: Consonant clusters are generally kept together in the onset of a syllable (e.g., "pr" in "produkt").
• Vowel-Centric Syllables: Each syllable contains a vowel sound.
• Compound Word Syllabification: Syllables are divided based on the constituent morphemes.

11. Special Considerations:

Regional variations in pronunciation might affect the length of vowels, but the syllable division remains consistent.

12. Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations:

Some dialects might pronounce the "u" in "full" slightly differently, but this doesn't alter the syllable division.
