6. Edge Case Review:

Nynorsk allows for both "hard" and "soft" pronunciation of consonants. In this case, the 'd' in "vurderer" is typically pronounced as a voiced alveolar plosive /d/. Regional variations might exist, but the standard pronunciation is used here.

• 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 compound nature of the word requires careful consideration of morpheme boundaries. The linking 't' is not a syllable on its own.
