3. Morphemic Analysis:

• kondisjons-: Root, derived from "kondisjon" (condition), ultimately from Latin conditio. Functions as a noun stem.
• -krev-: Root, from "krevja" (to demand), related to Old Norse krefja.

5. Phonetic Transcription:

/kɔnˈdɪʃɔnsˌkrɛvən̪de/

6. Edge Case Review:

Nynorsk allows for a degree of flexibility in compound word syllabification, but the proposed division adheres to the principle of avoiding stranded consonants.

7. Grammatical Role:

The word functions primarily as an adjective. Syllabification and stress remain consistent regardless of its use in a sentence.

8. Definition & Semantics:

• Definition: Requiring good physical condition; demanding in terms of fitness.
• Grammatical Category: Adjective
• Translation: Physically demanding, condition-demanding
• Synonyms: krevjande (bokmål equivalent), utfordrande (challenging)
• Antonyms: lett (easy), overkommeleg (manageable)
• Examples: "Ein kondisjonskrevende tur." (A physically demanding hike.) "Idretten er kondisjonskrevende." (The sport is physically demanding.)

9. Phonological Comparison:

• "utfordrande" (challenging): u-tord-ran-de. Similar structure with compound roots and a suffix.
• "vanskeleg" (difficult): van-ske-leg. Demonstrates a simpler syllable structure.
• "interessant" (interesting): in-te-res-sant. Shows how borrowed words are adapted to Nynorsk syllabification.

The differences in syllable division arise from the length and complexity of the root morphemes. "kondisjonskrevende" has longer and more complex roots than the other examples.

10. Division Rules:

• Onset Maximization: Syllables prefer to have consonant onsets whenever possible.
• Vowel Cluster Resolution: Vowel clusters are generally broken up to create separate syllables.
• Avoidance of Stranded Consonants: Consonants are not left at the end of a syllable unless they form part of a consonant cluster.

11. Special Considerations:

The 'j' sound can sometimes be considered part of the following syllable, but in this case, it's more natural to include it with the preceding vowel. Regional variations in pronunciation might affect the precise realization of vowel sounds, but not the core syllabification.
