The Norwegian word 'gjerningsperson' (perpetrator) is divided into four syllables: gjer-nings-per-son. Stress falls on the first syllable. The word is morphologically complex, combining a root from 'gjøre' (to do) with a nominalizing suffix and a borrowed root 'person'. Syllable division follows the principle of maximizing onsets and adhering to Norwegian phonotactics.
