Onset Maximization

Consonant clusters are maintained at the beginning of syllables (e.g., 'tl' in 'etterlatenskaper').

Vowel Nucleus Rule

Each syllable must contain a vowel nucleus. Diphthongs are treated as single nuclei.

Avoidance of Stranded Consonants

Consonants are not left at the end of a syllable unless they form a permissible coda.

  • The 'tl' consonant cluster is permissible as an onset in Nynorsk.
  • Regional variations in vowel pronunciation (e.g., /e/ vs. /ɛ/ in 'etter-') may exist but do not affect syllable division.
