3. Morphemic Analysis:

• ajour-: From French "à jour" (meaning "up to date"). Functions as a prefix indicating currentness.

• -s-: Genitive marker, linking the two preceding elements.
• -dato: From Latin "datum" (date). Functions as the noun root, meaning "date".

6. Edge Case Review:

Norwegian allows for some flexibility in syllable division, particularly with consonant clusters. However, the proposed division adheres to the principle of maximizing onsets and avoiding stranded consonants.
