Onset Maximization
Nynorsk prefers to include as many consonants as possible in the onset of a syllable. This is applied in the formation of 'kan', 'di', 'da', 'tek', 'sa', and 'men'.
Vowel Sequencing
Each vowel sound generally forms the nucleus of a separate syllable. This is evident in the separation of syllables based on vowel sounds.
Compound Word Syllabification

- Regional variations in Nynorsk pronunciation might affect vowel qualities but not the core syllabification.
- The 'd' between 'a' and 't' could potentially be a point of division, but onset maximization favors keeping 'dat' together.
