Maximize Onsets

Consonant clusters are generally kept together at the beginning of a syllable (e.g., 'skots').

Avoid Stranded Consonants

Consonants are not left at the end of a syllable unless necessary (e.g., 'ren').

Geminate Consonants

Geminate consonants (like 'tt' in 'etter') are treated as a single unit within the syllable.

  • The geminate 'tt' in 'etter' is a common feature in Nynorsk and doesn't affect syllable division beyond being treated as a single consonant unit.
  • Regional variations in pronunciation might slightly alter the vowel qualities, but the syllable division remains consistent.
