Onset Maximization
Nynorsk prioritizes creating syllables with maximal onsets (consonant clusters at the beginning of the syllable). This is evident in 'stads' and 'byg'.
Avoid Stranded Consonants
The syllable division avoids leaving single consonants at the end of a syllable unless necessary. This is why 'gelse' is a syllable on its own.
- The 'ds' cluster in 'stads' can be simplified in colloquial speech, but is retained in formal analysis.
- Vowel qualities are crucial for distinguishing meaning in Nynorsk and influence pronunciation.
