Following Nynorsk syllable division rules, which generally favor maximizing onsets (consonant clusters at the beginning of a syllable), the word breaks down as follows (using only the original letters):

3. Morphemic Analysis:

• publikums-: Prefix/Root - Derived from Latin publicus (public). Functions as an adjectival base denoting "public" or "relating to the public."
