Maximize Onset

Consonant clusters are maintained at the beginning of syllables whenever possible, as in 'nkjøn' and 'nsen'.

Vowel as Syllable Nucleus

Each syllable must contain a vowel, which serves as the syllable nucleus.

  • Potential for schwa insertion after 'n' in 'nkjøn' in some dialects, but standard pronunciation maintains the cluster.
  • The complex consonant clusters ('nk', 'ns') are permissible onsets in Nynorsk, though some speakers might simplify them.
