3. Morphemic Analysis:

• inn-: Prefix, originating from Old Norse inn, meaning "in" or "into". Morphological function: indicates direction or inclusion.
• flyt-: Root, originating from Old Norse fljót, meaning "flow" or "influence". Morphological function: core meaning of the word.

5. Phonetic Transcription:

The consistent stress pattern on the second element of these compound nouns demonstrates a regular phonological feature of Nynorsk. The differences in initial consonant clusters are due to the different roots used.

10. Division Rules:

• Onset Maximization: Consonant clusters are generally kept together at the beginning of a syllable (e.g., flt in flyt).
• Vowel Sequencing: Each vowel generally forms the nucleus of a separate syllable.
• Sonority Sequencing Principle: Syllables are structured to follow the sonority sequencing principle, with sounds becoming more sonorous towards the nucleus.

11. Special Considerations:

The compound nature of the word requires careful consideration of morpheme boundaries. However, the syllable division rules apply consistently across the entire word. Regional variations in pronunciation might affect vowel quality but not the fundamental syllable structure.

12. Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations:

Some dialects might exhibit slight vowel reductions in unstressed syllables, but the core syllable structure remains consistent.
