Onset Maximization
Consonant clusters are kept together in the onset of a syllable whenever possible (e.g., 'ts' in 'utsmykning').
Vowel Peak Principle
Each syllable must contain a vowel sound.
Sonority Sequencing Principle
Syllables generally follow a sonority hierarchy (vowels are more sonorous than consonants).
- The 'k' in 'utsmykning' could potentially lead to a syllable division after 's', but onset maximization dictates that 'ts' remains within the same syllable.
- Regional variations in Nynorsk pronunciation might affect vowel quality but generally do not alter the syllable division.
