Onset Maximization

Consonant clusters are generally kept within the onset of a syllable to maintain phonotactic legality.

Vowel-Centric Syllables

Each syllable must contain a vowel nucleus.

Avoidance of Illegal Syllable Structures

Syllables avoid starting with consonant clusters where possible, though this is sometimes unavoidable in Nynorsk.

  • The 'st' cluster in 'stilling' is a common initial consonant cluster and doesn't pose a significant challenge.
  • Regional variations in vowel quality might exist but do not affect the core syllabification.
