Vowel sequences are typically divided into separate syllables, but this is less prominent in this word due to the consonant clusters.

Stress-Based Division

The stressed syllable influences the division of surrounding syllables, often creating clearer boundaries.

  • The 'skj' cluster is treated as a single onset, a common feature in Nynorsk.
  • The infix '-ig-' is integrated into the preceding syllable due to the stress pattern.
  • Regional variations in pronunciation might slightly affect syllable boundaries, but the core division remains consistent.
