Maximize Onsets

Consonant clusters are generally included in the onset of the syllable whenever possible (e.g., 'spr', 'gj').

Avoid Stranded Consonants

Consonants are not left as the sole coda of a syllable if they can be part of an onset.

Geminate Consonants

Geminate consonants (doubled consonants) are treated as a single unit within the syllable, affecting syllable weight.

  • The 'gj' cluster is treated as a single onset.
  • Geminate consonants ('tt', 'ss') are phonemically significant and affect syllable weight.
  • The stress pattern is typical for Nynorsk compound nouns.
