The 'g' in 'utgifts' is a soft 'g' as in 'gift'. The 'sk' cluster is typical. The 'r' is alveolar, and the final 'll' is a geminate consonant, meaning it's pronounced as a lengthened 'l' sound.

2. Syllable Division:

3. Morphemic Analysis:

6. Edge Case Review:

The 'sk' cluster is a common onset in Nynorsk and doesn't present a significant edge case. The geminate 'll' is also standard and doesn't affect syllable division. The compound nature of the word is important, as it influences the stress pattern.
