Onset Maximization
Consonant clusters are preferred at the beginning of syllables (e.g., 'kr' in 'krets').
Avoidance of Stranded Consonants
Consonants are generally not left at the end of a syllable unless they form part of a diphthong or are followed by a vowel.
Vowel-Based Division
Syllables are typically divided around vowel sounds.
- Regional variations in 'r' pronunciation may affect perceived syllable boundaries but not the division itself.
- The stress pattern is typical for compound nouns in Nynorsk, but exceptions exist.
