Following Nynorsk syllable division rules, which prioritize vowel sounds and avoid breaking consonant clusters where possible, the word divides as follows (see JSON output for the orthographic representation).

3. Morphemic Analysis:

• latter-: Prefix, derived from the adjective "latter" (meaning 'later', 'subsequent'). Origin: Old Norse láttr. Morphological function: Indicates a later stage or action.

10. Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations:
