The 'v' is pronounced as a voiced labiodental fricative /v/. The 'j' is pronounced as a palatal approximant /j/.

3. Morphemic Analysis:

• Prefix: in- (from Latin in- meaning 'not' or 'into', here functioning as a prefix indicating a state or condition)
• Root: vest (from Old Norse vestr meaning 'west', but here related to the verb å investere 'to invest', ultimately from Latin investire)
• Suffixes: -er-, -ings-, -frihet (-er- is a deverbal suffix forming nouns, -ings- is a nominalizing suffix, -frihet means 'freedom' and is a compound of fri 'free' and -het a nominalizing suffix)
