3. Morphemic Analysis:

• ut-: Prefix, originating from Old Norse út, meaning "out" or "external". Function: Indicates location or extent.

7. Grammatical Role:

"Utmarkstekniker" functions primarily as a noun. While theoretically it could be used attributively (e.g., "utmarkstekniker-oppgaver" - "outfield technician tasks"), the syllabification remains consistent.
