Maximize Onsets
Consonant clusters are generally kept together at the beginning of a syllable (e.g., 'sted', 'skom').
Avoid Stranded Consonants
Consonants are not left at the end of a syllable unless necessary due to vowel sequences or morpheme boundaries.
Vowel as Syllable Nucleus
Each syllable must contain a vowel sound, which forms the nucleus of the syllable.
- The 'sk' cluster is a common onset and doesn't require special treatment.
- Nynorsk allows for relatively free vowel reduction in unstressed syllables, which can affect pronunciation but not syllabification.
