5. Phonetic Transcription:

/kɔmbinɑˈsjonsbiːl/

6. Edge Case Review:

Nynorsk allows for a relatively free syllable structure, but the "sjons" cluster requires careful consideration. It's treated as a single unit within the syllable due to the sonority sequencing.

7. Grammatical Role:

"kombinasjonsbil" functions solely as a noun. Syllabification and stress remain consistent regardless of grammatical context.

8. Definition & Semantics:

• informasjon (information): in-for-ma-sjon - Similar consonant clusters, but the stress is on the third syllable.

• organisasjon (organization): or-ga-ni-sa-sjon - Again, the "sjon" ending, stress on the third syllable.

The difference in stress placement is due to the length and complexity of the preceding syllables. "kombinasjon" has a longer and more complex onset than the others, leading to the stress falling on the first syllable.

• Sonority Sequencing: Within a syllable, sonority (sound intensity) increases from the onset to the nucleus (vowel) and decreases towards the coda (end).
