Maximize Onsets
Nynorsk syllable division prioritizes creating syllables with consonant clusters at the beginning (onsets) whenever possible. This is evident in the 'sk' cluster in 'skings'.
Vowel Nucleus
Each syllable must contain a vowel nucleus. The vowels in 'for', 'skings', 'sti', and 'pend' serve as the nuclei of their respective syllables.
- The 'sk' and 'ng' clusters are common and do not present unusual syllabification challenges.
- Nynorsk has a relatively weak stress system, making stress assignment less rigid than in some other languages.
