6. Edge Case Review:

Nynorsk allows for both "hard" and "soft" pronunciation of consonants. In this word, the 'g' is pronounced as a voiced velar fricative /ɡ/, and the 'n' is geminated (doubled in length) due to the following consonant. The 'sk' cluster is a common onset in Norwegian.

7. Grammatical Role:

The word functions solely as a noun. Syllabification and stress remain consistent regardless of its grammatical context within a sentence.

• komitelederen: (the committee leader) - ko-mi-te-le-de-ren. Demonstrates the typical Nynorsk syllable structure with consonant clusters.
• undersøkelseskomite: (investigation committee - alternative term) - un-der-sø-kel-ses-ko-mi-te. Shows how longer compound words are syllabified, breaking down into smaller units.

The differences in syllable division arise from the varying lengths of the words and the presence of different consonant clusters. However, the underlying principles of maximizing onsets and adhering to vowel-consonant patterns remain consistent.
