Pronunciation follows the general rules of Nynorsk, with a tendency towards a relatively even stress distribution across the compound, though the final syllable often receives slightly more emphasis.

3. Morphemic Analysis:

• mid-: Prefix, meaning "middle" (Old Norse miðr). Function: Locative/positional.
