5. Phonetic Transcription:

6. Syllable Breakdown & Rule Application:

• drift: /dɾɪft/ - Closed syllable. Rule: Consonant cluster 'ft' closes the syllable.

7. Edge Case Review:

The 'kk' sequence is a common feature of Nynorsk orthography and doesn't automatically necessitate a syllable break. The connecting vowel '-ri-' is a typical feature of compound nouns and doesn't pose a syllabification challenge.
