3. Morphemic Analysis:

• kon-: Prefix, from Latin con- meaning "with, together". Functions to intensify or add to the meaning of the root.

• kon /kɔn/: Open syllable. Rule: Vowel followed by consonant. No exceptions.

• mes /mɛs/: Closed syllable. Rule: Vowel followed by consonant. No exceptions.

10. Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations:

Regional variations in Nynorsk pronunciation might affect vowel quality (e.g., a more open 'ɔ' sound) or the realization of the 'r' (e.g., a trilled 'r' in some dialects). However, these variations do not fundamentally alter the syllable division.

• mulighet /mʉˈlɪhɛt/: Similar syllable structure (CVC-CVC-CVC). Stress on the second syllable.
• universitet /ʉnɪvɛrsɪˈtɛt/: More complex syllable structure, but shares the pattern of stress on a root syllable within a compound word.

The differences in syllable count and structure are due to the varying lengths and complexities of the root and affixes. "Konjunkturmessig" has a more complex onset cluster ("kt") than the other examples.
