Gemination Rule

Vowel-Based Division

When consonant clusters are too complex for an onset, syllables are divided based on vowel boundaries.

  • The geminate 'tt' in *skott* is crucial for pronunciation.
  • Nynorsk allows for relatively complex consonant clusters.
  • Compound nouns generally follow a stress pattern where the root of the second element receives primary stress.
