3. Morphemic Analysis:

The consonant cluster lv is common in Nynorsk and doesn't pose a significant syllabification challenge. The ses sequence is also standard. The vowel qualities are relatively straightforward.

9. Phonological Comparison:

• "overlevelse" (survival): o-ver-le-vel-se. Similar structure, stress on the second syllable.

• "overflate" (surface): o-ver-fla-te. Shares the "over-" prefix and similar syllable structure.

The differences in syllable division arise from the varying lengths and complexities of the suffixes and roots. "overlevelsesmulighet" has a more extended suffix chain, leading to a more complex syllabic structure.

11. Special Considerations:

Regional variations in Nynorsk pronunciation might affect vowel qualities, but the core syllabification principles remain consistent.
