Analysis of "gjennomfakturere" (Norwegian Nynorsk)

1. Pronunciation: The word is pronounced approximately as [ˈɡjœnːʊmˌfaktʉˈreːrə]. It's a complex verb meaning "to fully invoice" or "to complete the invoicing process."

2. Syllable Division: gjenn-om-fak-tu-re-re

3. Morphemic Analysis:

5. Phonetic Transcription: /ɡjœnːʊmˌfaktʉˈreːrə/

6. Syllable Breakdown & Rule Application:

• gjen-: /ɡjœnː/ - Rule: Onset-rime division. 'gj' is a complex onset, 'en' is the rime. Potential exception: The geminate 'nn' could be considered a separate syllable boundary by some analyses, but it's more common to keep it within the syllable due to the strong onset.
• om-: /ʊm/ - Rule: Onset-rime division. 'o' is the onset, 'm' is the rime.
• fak-: /fakt/ - Rule: Onset-rime division. 'f' is the onset, 'akt' is the rime.
• tu-: /tʉ/ - Rule: Onset-rime division. 't' is the onset, 'u' is the rime. This syllable receives primary stress.
• re-: /reː/ - Rule: Onset-rime division. 'r' is the onset, 'e' is the rime.
• re: /rə/ - Rule: Onset-rime division. 'r' is the onset, 'ə' is the rime.

7. Edge Case Review: The geminate 'nn' in gjenn- is a potential point of debate. Some analyses might prefer gjen-n- to reflect the lengthened consonant, but the standard practice in Norwegian Nynorsk syllabification favors keeping it within the first syllable.

8. Grammatical Role: The word is primarily a verb. Syllabification and stress remain consistent regardless of its grammatical function (as it's almost exclusively used as an infinitive or conjugated form).
