3. Morphemic Analysis:

• Prefix: terror- (from Latin terror meaning 'fear, dread'). Morphological function: denotes the nature of the organization.
• Root: organ- (from Greek organon meaning 'tool, instrument'). Morphological function: core element denoting structure or arrangement.
• Suffix: -isasjon (Norwegian suffix derived from French -isation and ultimately from Greek -sis). Morphological function: nominalizing suffix, turning a verb or adjective into a noun. -on is a common noun ending.

Nynorsk allows for both 'r' sounds (trill and approximant). The choice doesn't significantly alter syllabification. The compound nature of the word is standard and doesn't present unusual syllabic challenges.

• administrasjon (administration): ad-mi-ni-stra-sjon. Shares the -asjon suffix and similar syllabic structure.

The differences in syllable division arise from the specific consonant and vowel sequences in each word. "terrororganisasjon" has a more complex initial consonant cluster (terr-), influencing the initial syllable division.

10. Division Rules:

• Onset Maximization: Consonant clusters are generally kept together in the onset of a syllable. (Applied to terr- and org-)
• Vowel Peak: Each syllable must contain a vowel. (Applied throughout the word)
• Sonority Sequencing: Syllables follow a sonority hierarchy, with sounds becoming more sonorous towards the nucleus (vowel). (Applied to the arrangement of consonants and vowels within each syllable)

11. Special Considerations:

The compound nature of the word is a key consideration. While each component has its own pronunciation, the overall syllabification must adhere to Nynorsk rules. Regional variations in 'r' pronunciation are acceptable but don't affect the core syllabic structure.
