2. Syllable Division:

Following Nynorsk syllable division rules, which generally favor maximizing onsets (consonant clusters at the beginning of a syllable), and avoiding stranded consonants, the division is as follows.

3. Morphemic Analysis:

• turr-: From Old Norse þurr, meaning "dry". Adjectival root.
