Consonant clusters are maintained at the beginning of syllables whenever possible (e.g., 'kn' in 'knings').

Vowel Division

Syllable division occurs before each vowel (e.g., 'av', 'fol', 'kom').

  • The 'kn-' cluster could potentially be divided as 'k-nings' in some regional dialects, but the standard Nynorsk pronunciation favors a single onset.
  • Vowel quality variations may occur across dialects, but do not affect syllable division.
