Pronunciation follows Nynorsk standards, with a relatively even stress distribution, though the final syllable tends to be slightly weaker.

2. Syllable Division:

3. Morphemic Analysis:

• magnet: Root. Origin: Latin magnet. Morphological function: Noun, referring to a magnetic object.

6. Edge Case Review:

Nynorsk has regional variations in pronunciation, particularly regarding vowel qualities. However, the syllable division remains consistent across dialects. The double 'l' at the end of 'konsoll' indicates a long consonant sound, which is a common feature in Nynorsk.

7. Grammatical Role:

"magnetkortkonsoll" functions solely as a noun. Syllabification and stress remain consistent regardless of its grammatical context within a sentence.

• kredittkort (credit card): kre-ditt-kort. Similar compound structure with stress on the second element.
• bankterminal (bank terminal): bank-ter-mi-nal. Demonstrates a slightly different syllable division pattern due to the presence of more vowels and a different consonant structure.

10. Division Rules:

• Onset Maximization: Nynorsk favors maximizing consonant clusters in the onset of a syllable. This is evident in "magnet" (mag-net) and "konsoll" (kon-soll).
• Vowel as Syllable Nucleus: Each syllable must have a vowel as its nucleus.
• Compound Word Syllabification: Compound words are generally syllabified by treating each component as a separate unit, then applying the standard syllable division rules to each unit.

11. Special Considerations:

The compound nature of the word requires careful consideration. While each component has its own inherent syllable structure, the overall syllabification must account for the word's unity. The long consonant sound /lː/ in "konsoll" is a characteristic of Nynorsk and influences the pronunciation and potentially the perceived syllable weight.
