3. Morphemic Analysis:

• illustrasjons-: Prefix/Root: Derived from Latin illustrare ("to illuminate, to illustrate"). Functions as the descriptive element.

5. Phonetic Transcription:

/ɪˈlʉstrɑʃɔnsˌkʉnst/

6. Edge Case Review:

The 'sj' cluster is a common feature in Norwegian and is treated as a single consonant sound. The 'jons' cluster is also common and doesn't pose a significant syllabification challenge.

8. Definition & Semantics:
