Onset Maximization

Consonant clusters are maintained as onsets whenever possible, as seen in 'fri-st'.

Sonority Sequencing Principle

Consonants within clusters are ordered by sonority, influencing the division.

Open Syllable Preference

Nynorsk favors open syllables, leading to divisions like 'for-el' rather than 'forel'.

  • Regional variations in the pronunciation of 'r' (alveolar vs. uvular) may exist.
  • The genitive marker '-s-' can sometimes be pronounced weakly, potentially affecting perceived syllable boundaries.
