6. Edge Case Review:

The 'vju' suffix is a relatively recent borrowing and its pronunciation can vary slightly. The 'n' in 'inter' can sometimes be assimilated to the following 'v' in faster speech, but this doesn't affect the syllabification.

7. Grammatical Role:

"telefonintervju" functions primarily as a noun. Syllabification and stress remain consistent regardless of its grammatical context within a sentence.

10. Division Rules:

• Rule 1: Open Syllable Preference: Nynorsk favors open syllables (CV). This is evident in the division of "te-le-fon".
• Rule 2: Consonant Cluster Avoidance: Consonant clusters are generally avoided at syllable boundaries. This is why "inter" is not divided as "in-ter".

The suffix "-vju" is a relatively recent borrowing and its pronunciation can be slightly variable. The 'n' in 'inter' can sometimes be assimilated to the following 'v' in faster speech, but this doesn't affect the syllabification.
