6. Edge Case Review:
The compound nature of the word presents a slight edge case. While Nynorsk generally prefers maximizing onsets, the 'k' in 'kunstnar' could theoretically be considered the onset of a separate syllable. However, the strong association of 'kunstnar' as a unit favors the current division.
7. Grammatical Role:
The word functions solely as a noun. Syllabification and stress remain consistent regardless of its grammatical context within a sentence.
8. Definition & Semantics:

- Translation: Artist couple
- Grammatical Category: Noun (masculine or feminine, depending on the artists)
- Synonyms: kunstnarpar (artist pair)
- Antonyms: (Difficult to provide a direct antonym, as it describes a relationship. Perhaps "ikke-kunstnarpar" - non-artist couple)
- Examples:
- "Det er eit kjent kunstnerektepar i Oslo." (It is a well-known artist couple in Oslo.)
- "Kunstnerekteparet stilte ut måleria sine." (The artist couple exhibited their paintings.)

What is hyphenation
Hyphenation is the process of dividing words across lines in print or on websites. It involves inserting hyphens (-) where a word breaks to continue on the next line.
Proper hyphenation improves readability by reducing the unevenness of word spacing and unnecessary large gaps. It also helps avoid confusion that may occur when part of a word carries over. Ideal hyphenation should break words according to pronunciation and syllables. Most word processors and publishing apps have automated tools to handle hyphenation effectively based on language rules and dictionaries. Though subtle, proper hyphenation improves overall typography and reading comfort.
