1. Examination & Pronunciation:

The word "patentbeskytting" refers to patent protection. In Nynorsk, it's pronounced with a relatively even stress distribution, though the final syllable receives a slight emphasis. The 't' sounds are alveolar plosives, and the 'j' is a palatal approximant. Vowel qualities are typical of Nynorsk.

2. Syllable Division:

Following Nynorsk syllable division rules, which prioritize maximizing onsets and respecting vowel sequences, the word breaks down as follows (see "syllable_division" in the JSON output).

3. Morphemic Analysis:

• patent-: Prefix, from Latin patens (open, evident), meaning relating to a patent.
• beskytt-: Root, from Old Norse byskja (to protect, shield).
• -ing: Suffix, deverbalizing suffix forming a noun, indicating the action or result of protecting.

• Vowel Sequencing: Each vowel sound generally forms the nucleus of a separate syllable.
• Consonant Clusters: Consonant clusters are broken up according to sonority hierarchy, but within the constraints of maintaining onsets.
