Analysis of "sanatorieopphold" (Norwegian Nynorsk)

1. Pronunciation Considerations:

The word "sanatorieopphold" is a compound noun. Pronunciation in Nynorsk generally follows a relatively consistent set of rules, but vowel reduction in unstressed syllables can occur. The 'e' in 'sanatorie' is pronounced, and the 'opphold' part is pronounced as a single unit.
