2. Syllable Division:

Following Nynorsk syllable division rules, which generally favor maximizing onsets (consonant clusters at the beginning of a syllable), the word divides as follows (see JSON output for the orthographic representation).

3. Morphemic Analysis:

• kontroll-: Prefix/Root. Origin: English "control" (ultimately Latin contrā rōlō - against the roll). Morphological function: Noun, denoting the act of controlling.
• politikk: Root. Origin: French "politique" (ultimately Greek politikós - pertaining to the state). Morphological function: Noun, denoting the principles governing a state or organization.

10. Division Rules:

• Onset Maximization: Consonant clusters are generally kept together in the onset of a syllable (e.g., "kontr-").
• Vowel Peak: Each syllable must contain a vowel.
• Sonority Sequencing: Syllables follow a sonority hierarchy, with sounds becoming more sonorous towards the nucleus (vowel).

11. Special Considerations:

The geminate 'll' is crucial for the pronunciation and distinguishes it from a single 'l'. Regional variations in vowel pronunciation might exist, but the syllable division remains consistent.
