7. Grammatical Role:

9. Phonological Comparison:

• budsjett: /ˈbʉd͡sjɛt/ - Syllables: bud-sjett. Similar structure with consonant clusters. Stress on the first syllable.
• årsregnskap: /ˈɑːrsˌreɡnˌskɑːp/ - Syllables: års-regn-skap. Similar suffix "-skap" and root "regn-". Stress on the first syllable.

The differences in stress patterns are due to the varying weight of the initial syllables. "Kostnadsregnskap" has a lighter initial syllable ("kost-") compared to "års-" or "inn-", leading to the stress shifting to the third syllable.

10. Division Rules:

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

11. Special Considerations:

The "sk" cluster in "-skap" could potentially be divided as "s-kap" by some speakers, but the "sk-" division is more common and phonologically justifiable. Regional variations in pronunciation might affect the precise realization of vowel sounds.
