The 'sj' cluster is common in Norwegian and is treated as a single consonant in terms of syllabification. The 'ks' cluster is also relatively stable.

• Grammatical Category: Noun (masculine or feminine, depending on context - produksjonsassistenten can be either han or ho).
• Translation: Production assistant

9. Phonological Comparison:

• administrasjon (administration): ad-mi-ni-stra-sjon. Similar structure with multiple syllables and consonant clusters. Stress on the third syllable.

• distribusjon (distribution): dis-tri-bu-sjon. Similar syllable structure, with a consonant cluster at the beginning. Stress on the second syllable.

The differences in stress placement are due to the inherent weight and phonotactic properties of each root word. "Produksjon" has a heavier initial syllable, attracting the primary stress.

10. Division Rules:

• Onset Maximization: Consonant clusters are maintained within the onset of a syllable as long as they are permissible in Nynorsk phonotactics.
• Open Syllable Preference: Where possible, syllables are formed with an open structure (CV).
• Vowel-Centric Syllabification: Each vowel sound generally forms the nucleus of a syllable.

11. Special Considerations:

The 'sj' cluster is treated as a single unit for syllabification purposes, despite being two letters. Regional variations in pronunciation might affect the precise realization of vowels, but not the core syllabification.
