3. Morphemic Analysis:

7. Grammatical Role:

"innkrevningssentral" functions primarily as a noun. Syllabification and stress remain consistent regardless of its grammatical context within a sentence.

10. Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations:

Regional variations might affect the realization of the 'r' sound (e.g., a trilled 'r' in some dialects) and the vowel qualities. However, these variations generally do not alter the syllable division.

11. Division Rules Applied:

• Onset Maximization: Prioritizing consonant clusters at the beginning of syllables (e.g., "krev", "sent").
