Pronunciation follows Nynorsk standards, with a relatively even stress distribution, though the final syllable of "produksjon" receives slightly more emphasis.

2. Syllable Division:

3. Morphemic Analysis:

• strøm: Root. Origin: Old Norse stráumr. Morphological function: Noun, denoting a flow or current.

9. Phonological Comparison:

• strømstad: /strœmstɑːd/ - Syllables: strøm-stad. Similar "str" onset. Stress on the first syllable.

The consistent stress on the second syllable of "produksjon" across these examples demonstrates a pattern in Nynorsk compound nouns. The syllable division rules are also consistently applied, maximizing onsets where possible.

Division Rules Applied:

• Onset Maximization: Consonant clusters are generally kept together as onsets (e.g., "str" in "strøm").
• Vowel Peak Principle: Each syllable must contain a vowel sound.
• Sonority Sequencing Principle: Syllable structure follows a sonority hierarchy (vowels are more sonorous than consonants).
