3. Morphemic Analysis:

• trygd-: Root. Origin: Old Norse tryggð meaning "security, trust". Morphological function: relates to social security.

6. Edge Case Review:

Nynorsk allows for both hard and soft 'g' sounds. The pronunciation here assumes the velar fricative /ɣ/, common in many dialects. The 'd' between vowels can be reduced or elided in some dialects, but it's generally present in standard pronunciation.
