3. Morphemic Analysis:

• Prefix: pro- (Latin, meaning "forward," "forth") - functions as a prefix indicating progression or creation.
• Root: duksjon- (Latin ductio, meaning "leading," "drawing") - related to the concept of production.

6. Edge Case Review:

The consonant cluster "ksj" is common in Nynorsk and is treated as a permissible onset. The vowel "ø" can sometimes be reduced in unstressed syllables, but in this case, it maintains a relatively clear pronunciation.

7. Grammatical Role:

"Produksjonsøkning" is primarily a noun. Syllabification and stress remain consistent regardless of its grammatical function within a sentence.

8. Definition & Semantics:

• Definition: An increase in production.
• Translation: Production increase (English)
• Grammatical Category: Noun (feminine)

9. Phonological Comparison:

• produksjon: /proˈdʊksjɔn/ - Syllables: pro-duk-sjon. Similar structure, but lacks the "-økning" suffix. Stress remains on the second syllable.
• funksjon: /ˈfʊnksjɔn/ - Syllables: fun-ksjon. Similar onset cluster "ksj". Stress on the first syllable.
• økning: /ˈøːkniŋ/ - Syllables: øk-ning. Demonstrates the typical Nynorsk syllable structure with a vowel followed by a consonant cluster. Stress on the first syllable.

10. Division Rules:

• Onset Maximization: Consonant clusters are generally kept together at the beginning of a syllable (e.g., pro-, duk-, ksj-).
• Vowel Sequencing: Each vowel generally forms the nucleus of a separate syllable.
• Sonority Sequencing Principle: Syllables are structured to follow the sonority sequencing principle, with sounds becoming more sonorous towards the nucleus.

11. Special Considerations:

The compound nature of the word requires careful consideration of morpheme boundaries when applying syllable division rules. The "sj" cluster is a common feature of Nynorsk and doesn't typically trigger syllable separation.
