6. Syllable Breakdown & Rule Application:

Here's a detailed breakdown of each syllable, with rule explanations:

• ma-: /ma/ - Open syllable. Rule: Syllables are formed around vowel nuclei. No consonant clusters prevent a simple CV structure.
• la-: /la/ - Open syllable. Rule: Same as above.
• ri-: /riː/ - Open syllable. Rule: Same as above. Vowel lengthening occurs due to the following 'a'.

• t: /t/ - Syllable ending with a consonant. Rule: Consonants can form the coda of a syllable.

7. Edge Case Review:

The geminated 'tt' in "parasitt" is a common feature of Nynorsk and requires careful transcription. The vowel length in "malaria" is also important.
