2. Syllable Division:

Following Nynorsk syllable division rules, which prioritize maximizing onsets (consonant clusters at the beginning of a syllable) and avoiding stranded consonants, the word divides as follows (see JSON output for the orthographic representation).

3. Morphemic Analysis:

• transport-: Prefix/Root (Latin origin, meaning "carry across"). Functions as the core concept of movement.

This is a compound word, not formed through affixation in the traditional sense. Both components function as roots.

6. Edge Case Review:

Nynorsk allows for relatively free compound formation. The syllable division is fairly standard, with no major exceptions.

7. Grammatical Role:

"transportproblem" functions primarily as a noun. Syllabification and stress remain consistent regardless of grammatical context, as it's a fixed compound.

9. Phonological Comparison:

• utfordring (challenge): u-tfor-dring. Similar syllable structure, with consonant clusters at the beginning of syllables.
• problemstilling (problem statement): pro-blem-stil-ling. Demonstrates how Nynorsk handles multiple syllables and consonant clusters.
• transportmiddel (means of transport): trans-port-mid-del. Shows a similar compound structure and stress pattern.

The differences lie in the specific consonant clusters and vowel qualities, but the general syllable division principles remain consistent.

10. Division Rules:

• Onset Maximization: Nynorsk prefers to include as many consonants as possible in the onset of a syllable.
• Avoidance of Stranded Consonants: Consonants are generally not left at the end of a syllable unless necessary.
• Vowel-Centric Syllables: Each syllable typically contains one vowel sound.

11. Special Considerations:

The compound nature of the word is the primary consideration. The division reflects the boundaries between the two root words.

12. Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations:

While the standard pronunciation is as given, some regional variations might exist in vowel quality or the degree of 'r' pronunciation. These variations would not significantly alter the syllable division.
