Maximize Onsets

Consonant clusters are generally kept together at the beginning of a syllable whenever possible.

Avoid Stranded Consonants

Consonants are not left at the end of a syllable unless necessary due to morphemic boundaries.

Vowel-Based Division

  • The 'lv' cluster is a common but potentially challenging area, but is permissible in Nynorsk onsets.
  • The genitive suffix '-s' often forms a syllable on its own, especially when separating roots.
