3. Morphemic Analysis:

10. Division Rules:

• Onset Maximization: Norwegian prefers to maximize the number of consonants in the onset of a syllable.
• Vowel Peak: Each syllable must contain a vowel.
• Sonority Sequencing: Syllable structure follows the sonority sequencing principle, with sounds decreasing in sonority from the beginning to the end of the syllable.

11. Special Considerations:

The compound nature of the word requires careful consideration of the individual morphemes and their contribution to the overall syllable structure. The prefix 'inn-' is often weakly stressed and can sometimes be elided in rapid speech, but it still maintains its syllabic identity.

12. Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations:

Regional variations in Norwegian pronunciation might affect the vowel qualities, but the syllable division remains largely consistent. Some dialects might reduce the vowel in 'inn-' even further.
