The consonant cluster "vr" can sometimes be challenging, but in this case, it's a standard onset in Nynorsk. The 'j' sound between vowels is also common and doesn't present a significant issue.

8. Definition & Semantics:

• Grammatical Category: Noun (masculine/neuter depending on context, but generally treated as neuter).
• Synonyms: leveringstid (delivery time), tidspunkt for levering (time for delivery).
• Antonyms: (Difficult to define a direct antonym, but potentially "forsinkelse" - delay).
• Examples:

The consistency in stress placement on the "tids" syllable in these compounds demonstrates the regular stress pattern in Nynorsk compound nouns. The differences in initial syllables reflect the different root words.

10. Division Rules:

• Onset Maximization: Consonant clusters are generally kept together at the beginning of a syllable (e.g., "le-ve-").
• Vowel Peak Principle: Each syllable must contain a vowel sound.
• Sonority Sequencing Principle: Syllables tend to 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. However, the syllable division follows the phonological rules regardless of the morphemic structure.

12. Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations:

Regional variations in Nynorsk pronunciation might affect the realization of certain vowels or consonants, but the core syllable division remains consistent. Some dialects might slightly reduce the vowel in unstressed syllables.
