3. Morphemic Analysis:

• kilometer-: From "kilometer" (kilometre in English), a loanword from French/German, ultimately from Greek khilios (thousand) and metron (measure). Function: Noun stem, indicating distance.
• avgift-: From "avgift" (charge, fee), derived from Old Norse afgift, meaning "off-gift" or "payment". Function: Noun stem, indicating a financial charge.
• system-: From "system", a loanword from Greek systema (organized whole). Function: Noun stem, indicating a structured arrangement.

4. Stress Identification:

The primary stress falls on the penultimate syllable ("-gift-"). Nynorsk generally stresses the second-to-last syllable in words of this length and structure.

5. Phonetic Transcription:

/ˈkɪlɔˌmeːtərˌavɡɪftˌsɪstɛm/

6. Edge Case Review:

Nynorsk has regional variations in pronunciation, particularly regarding vowel quality. However, the syllable division remains consistent across dialects. The "km" cluster is treated as a single unit for syllabification purposes, as it represents a single phonological constituent.

7. Grammatical Role:

The word functions solely as a noun. Syllabification and stress remain consistent regardless of its grammatical context within a sentence.

8. Definition & Semantics:

  • "A system for charging fees based on the distance traveled, typically by vehicles."
  • Translation: Kilometer charge system

These words demonstrate a consistent pattern of stress placement and syllabification in Nynorsk compound nouns. The length of the word and the presence of multiple morphemes influence the syllable division, but the core principle of vowel-centered syllables remains consistent.

10. Division Rules:

• Vowel-Centered Syllabification: Each syllable contains a vowel sound.
• Consonant Cluster Resolution: Consonant clusters are broken up based on sonority, with less sonorous consonants tending to attach to the following syllable.
• Compound Word Syllabification: Compound words are syllabified based on the individual morphemes, respecting the rules above.

11. Special Considerations:

The "km" cluster is treated as a single unit, reflecting its phonological cohesion. The vowel quality in "-meter" can vary regionally, but this doesn't affect the syllable division.

12. Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations:

Some dialects might pronounce the "e" in "-meter" as a schwa /ə/, but the syllable division remains the same.
