Maximize Onsets
Consonant clusters are kept together at the beginning of a syllable whenever possible (e.g., 'for', 'pub').
Avoid Stranded Consonants
Consonants are not left at the end of a syllable unless they form part of a diphthong or are followed by a schwa (e.g., 'bunds', 'likk').
Vowel Groups
Vowel groups are divided into separate syllables if they represent distinct vowel sounds (not applicable in this word).
- The 'd' in 'bunds' can be lenited or elided in colloquial speech, but this doesn't change the syllabification.
- The double 'k' in 'likk' is a standard feature of Nynorsk orthography.
