Hyphenation ofselvforherligelse

Analysis of "selvforherligelse" (Norwegian Nynorsk)

1. Pronunciation Considerations:

The word "selvforherligelse" is a complex noun in Nynorsk, meaning self-glorification. Pronunciation follows Nynorsk standards, with a tendency towards a more conservative pronunciation of vowels compared to Bokmål. The 'r' is typically alveolar, and vowel qualities are relatively consistent across dialects.

2. Syllable Division:

Following Nynorsk syllable division rules, which prioritize maximizing onsets (consonant clusters at the beginning of a syllable) and avoiding stranded consonants, the division is as follows (detailed in the JSON output).

3. Morphemic Analysis:

• selv-: Prefix, meaning "self" (Old Norse selfr). Morphological function: reflexive pronoun/intensifier.
• for-: Prefix, meaning "for" or "before" (Old Norse fyrir). Morphological function: intensifier, often indicating a complete or excessive action.
• herlig-: Root, meaning "glorious" or "splendid" (Old Norse herrleg). Related to herr (lord) and leg (law, form).
• -else: Suffix, meaning "ification" or "making" (Old Norse -else). Morphological function: nominalization.

4. Stress Identification:

The primary stress falls on the penult (second-to-last syllable): her-li-ge-lse.

5. Phonetic Transcription:

/sɛlvfɔɾhɛrlɪɡɛlsə/

6. Edge Case Review:

The cluster "forh" can sometimes be a point of variation, but in this context, it's generally treated as a single complex onset. The final "-else" is a common nominalizing suffix and doesn't present any unusual syllabification challenges.

7. Grammatical Role:

The word is primarily a noun. While theoretically it could be used adjectivally (though rare), the syllabification and stress remain consistent.

The differences in syllable division arise from the varying complexity of the word's structure and the presence of different suffixes.

10. Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations:

Some dialects might slightly reduce the vowel in the final syllable, but this doesn't significantly alter the syllabification.

11. Division Rules Applied:
