5. Phonetic Transcription:

6. Edge Case Review:

The 'sk' cluster is a common onset in Norwegian and doesn't pose a significant syllabification challenge. The long vowels /ɛː/ and /ɔː/ are typical of Nynorsk and are accurately represented in the transcription. The final schwa /ə/ is also common.

7. Grammatical Role:

• gjensidig (mutual): gjen-si-dig. Slightly different syllable structure due to the 'gj' cluster, but still follows the penultimate stress rule.

• Onset Maximization: Consonant clusters are generally kept together at the beginning of a syllable (e.g., for-, venn-).
• Vowel Peak Principle: Each syllable must contain a vowel.
• Sonority Sequencing Principle: Syllables generally follow a sonority hierarchy (vowels are more sonorous than consonants).

11. Special Considerations:

The compound nature of the word requires careful consideration of morphemic boundaries. However, the syllabification rules apply consistently across the entire word. Regional variations in pronunciation might affect the precise realization of vowels, but not the core syllable division.
