Open Syllable Preference

Nynorsk favors open syllables (CV) whenever possible. This is evident in the division of 'fo', 'to', 'gra', 'fe', and 'ring'.

Consonant Cluster Avoidance

Consonant clusters are generally avoided at the beginning of syllables unless they are part of a morpheme boundary. The 't' in 'foto' is followed by a vowel, avoiding a cluster at the syllable start.

Morpheme Boundary Respect

Syllable division respects morpheme boundaries, separating 'botn' as a distinct unit.

  • Regional variations in the pronunciation of 'f' (as [f] or [v]) do not affect the syllabification.
  • The double consonants 't' and 'n' are typical of Nynorsk and are maintained in the syllabification.
