The word "ishockeypresident" is a compound noun in Norwegian Nynorsk. It combines "ishockey" (ice hockey) and "president." Pronunciation follows Nynorsk standards, which generally prioritize a more conservative pronunciation compared to Bokmål.

2. Syllable Division:

Applying Nynorsk syllable division rules, which generally favor maximizing onsets (consonant clusters at the beginning of a syllable) and respecting vowel quality, we arrive at the following division.

3. Morphemic Analysis:

• ishockey:
  • ish - Origin: English "ice". Function: Borrowed root.

6. Syllable Breakdown & Rule Application:

• i-shoc-key-pre-si-dent
  • i: /i/ - Open syllable. Rule: Initial vowel always begins a syllable. No exceptions.
  • shoc: /ʃɔkː/ - Closed syllable. Rule: Consonant cluster "sh" forms the onset, followed by a short vowel. Potential exception: The long vowel /ɔː/ could theoretically lead to a different division, but the "sh" cluster is strongly maintained.
  • key: /keɪ/ - Open syllable. Rule: Vowel "e" followed by diphthong "ɪ". No exceptions.
  • pre: /prɛ/ - Closed syllable. Rule: Consonant cluster "pr" forms the onset, followed by a vowel. No exceptions.

  • dent: /dɛnt/ - Closed syllable. Rule: Consonant cluster "nt" forms the coda, following a vowel. No exceptions.

7. Edge Case Review:

The "sh" cluster is relatively common in loanwords and is generally treated as a single onset. The compound nature of the word doesn't introduce significant exceptions.
