3. Morphemic Analysis:

• -inne: Feminine suffix, indicating a female performer. Origin: Old Norse. Function: Grammatical gender marker.

The consonant cluster "ng" is common in Nynorsk and doesn't typically cause syllable division issues. The double "n" in "-inne" is also standard and doesn't create a syllable break.

• Avoid Breaking Consonant Clusters: Consonant clusters are generally kept within a single syllable unless they are exceptionally complex or disrupt the natural flow of pronunciation.
• Vowel-Based Division: Each vowel sound typically forms the nucleus of a separate syllable.
