2. Syllable Division:

Following Nynorsk syllable division rules, which generally favor open syllables and consonant clusters are broken according to sonority, the word divides as follows (see JSON output for the orthographic representation).

3. Morphemic Analysis:

• termin-: Prefix, derived from Latin terminus meaning "limit, end, boundary". Functions as a prefix indicating a relation to terms or deadlines.
• forskyv-: Root, derived from Old Norse forskifa meaning "to shift, move forward". This is the core meaning-bearing element.
• -ing: Suffix, common in Nynorsk (and Norwegian Bokmål) to form verbal nouns (gerunds) or nouns denoting a process.

5. Phonetic Transcription:

/ˈtɛrmɪnˌfɔrˈskyviŋ/

6. Edge Case Review:

Nynorsk allows for a relatively free flow of consonant clusters, but syllable division still aims for open syllables where possible. The 'r' sound can sometimes be elided or reduced in rapid speech, but this doesn't affect the underlying syllabification.

7. Grammatical Role:

"Terminforskyving" is primarily a noun. The syllabification remains consistent regardless of its grammatical function within a sentence.

8. Definition & Semantics:

• Definition: The act of postponing or shifting a deadline or term.
• Grammatical Category: Noun (feminine gender)
• Translation: Deadline postponement, term shifting
• Synonyms: utsetting (postponement), forskyving av frist (shifting of a deadline)
• Antonyms: innfriing (fulfillment), overholdelse (compliance)
• Examples:
  • "På grunn av sjukdom vart det ein terminforskyving." (Due to illness, there was a deadline postponement.)

9. Phonological Comparison:

• utfordring (challenge): ut-for-dring. Similar structure with a prefix and suffix. Stress on the second syllable.
• overføring (transfer): o-ver-fø-ring. Similar suffix '-ing'. Stress on the third syllable.
• bekreftelse (confirmation): bek-ref-tel-se. Similar prefix-root-suffix structure. Stress on the second syllable.

The differences in stress placement are due to the varying weight and sonority of the syllables within each word. "Terminforskyving" has a heavier first syllable due to the 'termin-' prefix, which influences the stress pattern.

10. Division Rules:

• Onset Maximization: Consonant clusters are maintained within the onset of a syllable as long as they are phonotactically permissible.
• Sonority Sequencing Principle: Within a syllable, sounds are ordered from more sonorous (vowels) to less sonorous (consonants).
• Open Syllable Preference: Nynorsk favors open syllables (ending in a vowel) whenever possible.

11. Special Considerations:

The compound nature of the word requires careful consideration of morpheme boundaries when dividing syllables. The 'n' at the end of 'termin' is part of the prefix and is included in the first syllable.

12. Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations:

Regional variations in Nynorsk pronunciation might affect the realization of the 'r' sound (e.g., retroflex 'r' in some dialects), but the underlying syllabification remains consistent.
