2. Syllable Division:

Following Nynorsk syllable division rules, which generally favor maximizing onsets (consonant clusters at the beginning of a syllable) and respecting vowel sequences, the word divides as follows (see JSON output for orthographic representation).

3. Morphemic Analysis:

• Prefix: in- (from Latin in- meaning 'in, into'). Functions as a prefix indicating direction or inclusion.

• Suffixes:
  • -er- (inflectional suffix, forming a verbal noun/gerund).

  • -boom (from Dutch boom meaning 'boom, flourishing'). Functions as a noun suffix indicating a period of rapid growth.
