The "ings" suffix can sometimes present challenges in syllabification, but in this case, it's treated as a single unit due to its common occurrence and established pronunciation.

7. Grammatical Role:

"utbetalingskonto" functions solely as a noun. Syllabification and stress remain consistent regardless of its grammatical context within a sentence.

8. Definition & Semantics:

• Definition: A bank account used for receiving payments.
• Grammatical Category: Noun (feminine gender)
• Translation: Payment account
• Synonyms: lønskonto (salary account), inntektskonto (income account)
• Antonyms: (None directly applicable, as it's a specific type of account)
• Examples:
  • "Eg har ein utbetalingskonto i banken." (I have a payment account at the bank.)

9. Phonological Comparison:

• utbetaling: /ʉt.bɛˈtɑː.lɪŋ/ - Syllable division: ut-be-ta-ling. Similar structure, but lacks the "konto" root. Stress remains on the second syllable.
• innbetaling: /ɪn.bɛˈtɑː.lɪŋ/ - Syllable division: inn-be-ta-ling. Similar structure, differing only in the initial consonant. Stress remains on the second syllable.
• bankkonto: /ˈbɑŋk.kɔn.tɔ/ - Syllable division: bank-kon-to. Simpler structure, but shares the "konto" root. Stress on the first syllable of the first root.

The consistency in stress placement on the root syllable (or the second syllable in compounds) demonstrates a regular pattern in Nynorsk phonology.

10. Division Rules:

• Onset Maximization: Consonant clusters are generally kept together at the beginning of a syllable (e.g., "ut-", "bet-").
• Vowel Sequencing: Each vowel sound generally forms the nucleus of a separate syllable.
• Compound Word Syllabification: Syllable division occurs within each morpheme of the compound word.

11. Special Considerations:

The pronunciation of /ʉ/ can vary slightly regionally, but it doesn't significantly affect syllable division. The "ings" suffix is generally treated as a single unit.

12. Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations:

Some dialects might slightly reduce the vowel in "konto" to a schwa /ə/, but this doesn't alter the syllable division.
