3. Morphemic Analysis:

• program: Borrowed from Latin programma, via English/German. Functions as the head noun.

• Vowel Peak: Each syllable must contain a vowel sound.
• Compound Word Syllabification: Syllables are divided based on the morphemic boundaries within the compound.

11. Special Considerations:

The genitive "s" is treated as a separate syllable, even though it's a single phoneme. This is standard practice in Nynorsk syllabification.
