3. Morphemic Analysis:
- Prefix: gud- (Old Norse guðr), meaning "god."
- Root: -dom- (Latin dominus via Germanic), denoting state or quality.

/ɡʉdːɔmːɛlɪɡjøːɾɪŋ/
6. Edge Case Review:
The 'gj' cluster is a common feature of Nynorsk and is treated as a single onset. The 'll' cluster is also typical and forms a single consonant in the syllable. The vowel length is important, as indicated by the double vowels (e.g., oo in gud).
7. Grammatical Role:
The word is primarily a noun. Syllabification remains consistent regardless of grammatical function.
8. Definition & Semantics:

9. Phonological Comparison:

- "utdanning": /ʉtˈdɑnɪŋ/ - Syllables: ut-dan-ning. Shows how prefixes are separated into distinct syllables.
10. Division Rules:
- Onset Maximization: Consonant clusters are kept together as onsets whenever possible (e.g., gj, ll).
- Vowel Break: Each vowel nucleus forms a syllable.
- Sonority Sequencing: Syllable boundaries tend to occur after a decrease in sonority.
11. Special Considerations:
The length of the vowels significantly impacts the syllable structure. The 'r' sound is often retroflex in Nynorsk, influencing the pronunciation of adjacent vowels.
12. Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations:
Regional variations in vowel pronunciation might exist, but the syllable division remains consistent. Some dialects might reduce vowel length, but this doesn't alter the core syllabic structure.

What is hyphenation
Hyphenation is the process of dividing words across lines in print or on websites. It involves inserting hyphens (-) where a word breaks to continue on the next line.
Proper hyphenation improves readability by reducing the unevenness of word spacing and unnecessary large gaps. It also helps avoid confusion that may occur when part of a word carries over. Ideal hyphenation should break words according to pronunciation and syllables. Most word processors and publishing apps have automated tools to handle hyphenation effectively based on language rules and dictionaries. Though subtle, proper hyphenation improves overall typography and reading comfort.
