6. Edge Case Review:
The consonant cluster stj is common in Nynorsk and is treated as a single onset. The vowel length in høve can vary slightly depending on dialect.
7. Grammatical Role:

8. Definition & Semantics:
- Definition: Relationship of opposition; a contradictory connection.
- Grammatical Category: Noun (feminine)

- Moraic Weight: Long vowels and diphthongs carry more moraic weight and can influence syllable division.
11. Special Considerations:
The word's length and complex morphology present a challenge for syllabification. The genitive -s- can sometimes be considered part of the preceding syllable, but here it's treated as a separate syllable to reflect its grammatical function.
12. Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations:
Dialectal variations might affect vowel quality and length, but the core syllable structure remains consistent. Some dialects might reduce the vowel in the final syllable.

What is hyphenation
Hyphenation is the process of dividing words across lines in print or on websites. It involves inserting hyphens (-) where a word breaks to continue on the next line.
Proper hyphenation improves readability by reducing the unevenness of word spacing and unnecessary large gaps. It also helps avoid confusion that may occur when part of a word carries over. Ideal hyphenation should break words according to pronunciation and syllables. Most word processors and publishing apps have automated tools to handle hyphenation effectively based on language rules and dictionaries. Though subtle, proper hyphenation improves overall typography and reading comfort.
