• Grammatical Category: Noun (feminine gender)
• Translation: Lung change, lung alteration

The differences in syllable structure arise from the varying consonant clusters present in each word. "Lungeforandring" has a more complex cluster ("ng") and a longer root, leading to a more extended syllable breakdown.

While the pronunciation is relatively standard, some regional variations might exist in vowel quality or the degree of aspiration of certain consonants. These variations would not significantly alter the syllable division.
