3. Morphemic Analysis:

• industri-: Root. Origin: French/Latin industria (skill, diligence). Function: Denotes the sphere of industry.

5. Phonetic Transcription:

/ˈɪndʊstɾiːnˌɡɑʃəˌmɛnt/

The "ng" cluster is common in Nynorsk and is treated as a single phoneme /ŋ/. The vowel sequences "ie" and "e" are relatively straightforward in pronunciation.

7. Grammatical Role:

The word is primarily a noun. Syllabification and stress remain consistent regardless of grammatical function, as it's a single, inflexible form.

• administrasjon (administration): "ad-mi-ni-stra-sjon" - Similar structure with borrowed roots and suffixes. Stress on the fourth syllable.

The differences in stress placement are due to the inherent stress patterns of the root words and the overall rhythmic structure of the compounds.

10. Division Rules:

• Onset Maximization: Consonant clusters are generally kept together at the beginning of a syllable (e.g., "in-dus-").
• Vowel Break: Each vowel nucleus generally forms a separate syllable (e.g., "ga-sje-").
• Syllable Weight: Nynorsk allows for syllables with complex onsets and codas.

11. Special Considerations:

The genitive marker "-en" is a common feature of Nynorsk and influences the syllabification by linking the preceding root to the following element.

12. Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations:

Regional variations in Nynorsk pronunciation are minimal, but some dialects might slightly alter the vowel quality or the length of certain syllables. These variations would not significantly affect the syllable division.
