3. Morphemic Analysis:

• krut-: Root. Origin: Old Norse krut, related to the concept of powder. Morphological function: Denotes the material used (powder).

6. Edge Case Review:

The double 'p' in "pistol" represents a geminate consonant, which is phonemically distinct in Nynorsk. The 'r' in 'krut' is often a flap [ɾ] rather than a trill [r].

7. Grammatical Role:

"Krutlapp-pistol" functions solely as a noun. Syllabification and stress remain consistent regardless of grammatical context, as it's a fixed compound.

8. Definition & Semantics:

• Definition: A flintlock pistol, specifically referring to an older type where a patch of gunpowder (krutlapp) was used.
• Grammatical Category: Noun (masculine gender)
• Translation: Flintlock pistol
• Synonyms: Flintpistol (more general term)
• Antonyms: (None directly applicable, as it's a specific type of firearm)
• Examples:
  • "Han viste fram ein gammal krutlapp-pistol." (He showed an old flintlock pistol.)
  • "Krutlapp-pistolen var godt vedlikehalden." (The flintlock pistol was well-maintained.)

9. Phonological Comparison:

• hestekjøretøy (horse-drawn vehicle): hes-te-kjø-re-tøy. Similar syllable structure with compound words. Stress on the first syllable of the last constituent.
• frukthage (fruit garden): fruk-thage. Similar compound structure, stress on the last syllable.
• bokhylle (bookshelf): bok-hyl-le. Shorter compound, but demonstrates the typical Nynorsk pattern of syllable division and stress.

The differences in stress placement (e.g., frukthage vs. krutlapp-pistol) are due to the length and phonological weight of the constituent parts. Longer constituents tend to attract stress.

10. Division Rules:

• Onset Maximization: Consonant clusters are generally kept together at the beginning of a syllable (e.g., krut, pis).
• Vowel-Centric Syllables: Each syllable typically contains a vowel sound.
• Compound Word Syllabification: Compound words are syllabified as if they were separate words joined together.

11. Special Considerations:

The geminate consonant 'pp' in "pistol" is a potential point of variation in pronunciation, but it doesn't affect the syllabification. Regional dialects might exhibit slight variations in vowel quality.
