3. Morphemic Analysis:

5. Phonetic Transcription:

/ˈskipseˌlɛktɾiːkərˌkurs/

6. Edge Case Review:

Nynorsk allows for both hard and soft pronunciation of 'g' and 'k'. In this word, the 'k' in 'elektriker' is typically pronounced as a hard 'k' /k/. The 'r' is often alveolar tap /ɾ/ in Nynorsk.

7. Grammatical Role:

9. Phonological Comparison:

• fiskebåtbygging (fish-boat-building): /fɪskəˌbuːtˌbʏɡɪŋ/ - Similar compound structure, stress on the second element.
• datamaskinkurs (computer-course): /daːtaˌmaskinˌkurs/ - Similar suffix "-kurs", stress on the first element of the root.
• vegsaltlager (road-salt-storage): /veːɡˌsaltˌlaːɡər/ - Compound noun, stress on the second element.

The differences in stress placement are due to the inherent stress patterns of the root words within the compounds. "elektriker" naturally attracts stress, while "vegsalt" and "datamaskin" have different inherent stress patterns.

10. Division Rules:

• Onset Maximization: Consonant clusters are generally kept together at the beginning of a syllable (e.g., "sk" in "skip").
• Vowel-Centric Syllables: Each syllable typically contains one vowel sound.
• Compound Word Syllabification: Syllables are divided based on the morphemic boundaries within the compound.

11. Special Considerations:

The compound nature of the word requires careful consideration of morphemic boundaries. Regional variations in pronunciation of 'r' could slightly affect the phonetic realization of the syllables.
