Vowel Peak

Each syllable must contain a vowel sound.

Onset-Rime

Syllables are structured around an onset (initial consonants) and a rime (vowel and following consonants).

Consonant Cluster Handling

Consonant clusters are generally maintained within a syllable unless they are complex and disrupt the flow of pronunciation.

Morpheme Boundary Preference

Syllable division often respects morpheme boundaries, especially in compound words.

  • The word is a compound noun, and its syllabification reflects this structure.
  • The linking morpheme 's' doesn't create a separate syllable.
  • The 'kkj' cluster is a relatively common feature of Nynorsk and doesn't trigger syllable separation.
