The word "utbetalingsintervall" is a compound noun in Norwegian Nynorsk. Its pronunciation follows the general rules of Nynorsk, which prioritize a relatively consistent vowel quality and a tendency towards open syllables. The 'r' is typically alveolar, and vowel reduction is less pronounced than in some other Scandinavian languages.

2. Syllable Division:

Following Nynorsk syllable division rules, which generally favor maximizing open syllables (syllables ending in a vowel), and respecting consonant clusters, the word is divided as follows (see JSON output for the orthographic representation).

3. Morphemic Analysis:

• ut-: Prefix. Origin: Old Norse. Function: Indicates 'out' or 'away', often denoting a process or action being completed.

• intervall: Root. Origin: French/Latin ("inter vallum" - between the walls). Function: Denotes a period of time or space between events.
