The 'nn' cluster in 'innredning' is a common feature in Nynorsk and doesn't pose a significant syllabification challenge. The 'ds' cluster is also common and is generally treated as a single onset.

7. Grammatical Role:

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

8. Definition & Semantics:

• Definition: The level of interior design or furnishings in a property.
• Translation: Interior design standard.
• Grammatical Category: Noun (masculine gender)

9. Phonological Comparison:

• utdanningsnivå (education level): /ˌʉtˈdɑnːɪŋsˌnɪvɔː/ - Syllable division: ut-dan-nings-ni-vå. Similar structure with compound nouns and stress on the penultimate syllable.

• samfunnsansvar (social responsibility): /ˌsɑmˈfunsˌɑnsvar/ - Syllable division: sam-funs-ans-var. Similar stress pattern and compound structure.

The differences in syllable division arise from the specific consonant and vowel sequences in each word. "innredningsstandard" has a more complex consonant cluster ('ds') than the other examples, but the principle of maximizing onsets still applies.

10. Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations:

Regional variations in Nynorsk pronunciation might affect vowel qualities, but the core syllabification principles remain consistent. Some dialects might reduce the vowel in "inn" to a schwa /ə/, but this wouldn't alter the syllable division.

11. Division Rules Applied:

• Onset Maximization: Consonant clusters are generally included in the onset of the following syllable (e.g., 'inn', 'red', 'stan').
• Vowel Peak Principle: Each syllable must contain a vowel (or diphthong) forming its nucleus.
• Sonority Sequencing Principle: Sounds are ordered within the syllable according to their sonority (loudness), with higher sonority sounds closer to the nucleus.
