Onset Maximization

Consonant clusters are maintained within the syllable onset whenever possible (e.g., 'ds' in 'arbeids').

Vowel Nucleus

Each syllable must contain a vowel nucleus (e.g., 'a' in 'ar').

Sonority Sequencing Principle

Syllables are structured to maximize sonority towards the nucleus.

Avoidance of Initial Consonant Clusters

Nynorsk tends to avoid syllables beginning with complex consonant clusters, though this is not always possible.

  • The 'ei' diphthong is a typical Nynorsk realization.
  • Regional variations in vowel qualities may exist, but do not significantly alter syllable division.
  • The word is a fixed compound noun, so syllable division and stress remain consistent.
