3. Morphemic Analysis:

9. Phonological Comparison:

• fotballag: /ˌfɔtˈbɑlːˌlɑɡ/ - Syllables: fot-ball-lag. Similar structure with compound words. Stress on the second element.
• landskamp: /ˈlɑnːsˌkɑmp/ - Syllables: lands-kamp. Similar stress pattern (penultimate syllable).
• idrettsforening: /ɪˈdrɛtsfɔˈrɛniŋ/ - Syllables: i-dretts-for-e-ning. Demonstrates the typical Nynorsk tendency to break down compounds into relatively short syllables.

10. Division Rules:

• Vowel-Initial Syllables: Syllables generally begin with a vowel (e.g., "i-").
• Consonant Clusters: Consonant clusters are often broken after the first consonant if a vowel follows (e.g., "ter-").
• Penultimate Stress: Stress typically falls on the penultimate syllable in longer words.

11. Special Considerations:

The "t" between vowels is pronounced, unlike some other Scandinavian languages where it might be softened or elided. The "r" is alveolar, as is typical in Nynorsk.
