5. Phonetic Transcription:

/ˈkɔn.tɛk.stʊ.a.li.sə.ɾə/

9. Phonological Comparison:

10. Division Rules:

• Onset Maximization: Nynorsk favors maximizing consonant clusters in the onset of a syllable (e.g., kon-).
• Vowel Nucleus: Each syllable must contain a vowel sound.
• Sonority Sequencing: Syllable structure follows the sonority sequencing principle, with sounds decreasing in sonority from the syllable onset to the coda.

11. Special Considerations:

The 'st' cluster in "tekst" is a common and permissible onset in Nynorsk. The 'u' and 'a' vowels are distinct and create separate syllables. The final 're' is a common verbal ending and forms a syllable on its own.

12. Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations:

Some dialects might slightly alter the vowel qualities, but the core syllable division remains consistent.
