Sonority Sequencing Principle

Consonant clusters are broken down based on sonority, favoring the placement of more sonorous sounds in the rime.

Avoidance of Single-Letter Syllables

Nynorsk generally avoids creating syllables consisting of only a vowel.

  • The 'ei' vs. 'je' pronunciation variation doesn't affect syllable division.
  • Double consonants (mm, tt) are part of the syllable and don't trigger syllable breaks.
