Avoidance of Lone Consonants

Consonants are generally not left as syllable-final codas unless necessary.

  • The compound nature of the word requires careful consideration of morpheme boundaries.
  • The 'kh' cluster is a relatively unique feature of Nynorsk and doesn't significantly alter the general syllabification rules.
