It's a relatively long word, and its pronunciation follows the typical Nynorsk rules, which generally favor a more conservative pronunciation compared to Bokmål. The 'r' is typically alveolar and can be retroflex in some dialects. Vowel qualities are generally similar to those in English, but with some subtle differences.

2. Syllable Division:

Following Nynorsk syllable division rules, which prioritize preserving consonant clusters within syllables where possible, and avoiding syllables starting with consonant clusters, the division is as follows (see JSON output for the orthographic representation).

6. Edge Case Review:

The 'r' sound can be realized as a retroflex consonant [r] in some dialects, particularly in Western Norway. This doesn't affect the syllable division, but it does impact the phonetic realization. The vowel qualities can also vary slightly depending on the dialect.

• Avoidance of Initial Consonant Clusters: Nynorsk generally avoids syllables beginning with consonant clusters, though this rule is sometimes overridden by onset maximization.
