Onset Maximization
The syllable division attempts to include as many consonants as possible in the onset of each syllable (e.g., 'ksj' in 'ksjons').
Avoidance of Stranded Consonants
Consonants are generally not left at the end of a syllable without a following vowel.
Vowel-Centric Syllables
Each syllable must contain a vowel sound.
- The consonant cluster 'ksj' is relatively uncommon but permissible in Nynorsk.
- The double 'm' in 'hemming' indicates a geminate consonant, which is phonemically significant.
