3. Morphemic Analysis:

• kompromiss:
  • Root: kom- (Latin, com- meaning "together, with")

5. Phonetic Transcription:

/kɔmˈprɔmɪsːfɔʂlɑɡ/

6. Edge Case Review:

Nynorsk allows for both "hard" and "soft" pronunciation of consonants. The /ʂ/ in forslag is a retroflex fricative, common in Nynorsk. The double 's' in kompromiss indicates a geminate consonant, lengthening the sound.

7. Grammatical Role:

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

9. Phonological Comparison:

• arbeidsliv (working life): /ˈɑrbɛi̯dsˌliv/ - Syllables: ar-beids-liv. Compound noun, similar to kompromissforslag, with multiple syllables.
• utdanning (education): /ʉtˈdɑnɪŋ/ - Syllables: ut-dan-ning. Demonstrates the typical Nynorsk syllable structure with consonant clusters.

The differences lie in the specific consonant clusters and vowel qualities, but the overall syllable division principles remain consistent. kompromissforslag has a more complex consonant cluster in kompromiss than the others.

10. Division Rules:

• Onset Maximization: Nynorsk favors maximizing the number of consonants in the onset of a syllable.
• Vowel Nucleus: Each syllable must contain a vowel nucleus.
• Sonority Sequencing: Syllable structure follows the sonority sequencing principle, with sounds decreasing in sonority from the beginning to the end of the syllable.

11. Special Considerations:

The geminate consonant 'ss' in kompromiss is a key feature of Nynorsk phonology and affects syllable weight. Regional variations in pronunciation might affect the realization of the retroflex fricative /ʂ/.

12. Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations:

Some dialects might pronounce the /ʂ/ as /ʃ/ (like "sh" in English), but this doesn't significantly alter the syllable division.
