The double 'pp' in "oppgjør" is a common feature in Nynorsk, indicating a completed action. Syllabification needs to account for this gemination.

The word primarily functions as a noun. While theoretically, one could construct a phrase where "oppgjør" acts as a verb (e.g., "å gjøre eit oppgjør" - to make a settlement), the syllabification remains consistent as the core morphemes don't change.
