Open Syllable Preference

Nynorsk favors open syllables (CV) whenever possible. Syllable division occurs to maintain this structure.

Consonant Cluster Avoidance

Consonant clusters are generally not broken unless they are complex or unusual in Nynorsk phonology.

  • The 'j' sound is treated as a semi-vowel and forms a syllable onset.
  • The consonant cluster 'nd' in 'under' does not trigger syllable division.
