3. Morphemic Analysis:

• installasjons-: Prefix/Stem - Derived from the verb "installere" (to install), ultimately from Latin "installare". Indicates the action or state of being installed.

The consonant cluster "str" is common in Norwegian and doesn't pose a significant syllabification challenge. The 'j' before 'ons' is a typical feature and doesn't affect the syllable division.

The differences in syllable division arise from the specific vowel and consonant sequences within each word. "installasjonsmateriell" has a longer sequence of vowels and consonants, leading to more complex syllable boundaries.
