3. Morphemic Analysis:
- verden-: Root. Origin: Old Norse verǫld. Meaning: "world".

6. Syllable Breakdown & Rule Application:
- ver-: /vɛr/ - Open syllable. Rule: Consonant followed by vowel. No exceptions.

- ess: /ɛsː/ - Closed syllable. Rule: Vowel followed by consonant. The double 's' indicates a lengthened consonant sound.
7. Edge Case Review:
The 'd' in "dens" is a potential point of variation. Some speakers might reduce it significantly, approaching a schwa sound or even dropping it entirely in casual speech. However, for a formal analysis, it's included.

11. Phonological Comparison:
- fotball: fo-tball - Similar structure with a consonant cluster onset.
- datamaskin: da-ta-mas-kin - Demonstrates the tendency to break up consonant clusters when possible.
- universitet: u-ni-ver-si-te-t - Shows how Nynorsk handles longer words with multiple syllables.
The differences in syllable division arise from the specific consonant and vowel sequences in each word.

What is hyphenation
Hyphenation is the process of dividing words across lines in print or on websites. It involves inserting hyphens (-) where a word breaks to continue on the next line.
Proper hyphenation improves readability by reducing the unevenness of word spacing and unnecessary large gaps. It also helps avoid confusion that may occur when part of a word carries over. Ideal hyphenation should break words according to pronunciation and syllables. Most word processors and publishing apps have automated tools to handle hyphenation effectively based on language rules and dictionaries. Though subtle, proper hyphenation improves overall typography and reading comfort.
