Onset-Rime Structure

Syllables are formed by maximizing onsets (consonant clusters at the beginning) and then dividing into rimes (vowel and following consonants).

Syllabic Consonant

The final 'l' in 'sel' becomes syllabic when it follows a vowel and forms a syllable on its own.

  • The syllabic 'l' in 'sel' is a common feature in Nynorsk and doesn't represent an exception. Regional variations in vowel quality may occur but do not affect syllable division.
