Maximize Onsets
Norwegian favors placing as many consonants as possible at the beginning of a syllable.
Avoid Stranded Consonants
Consonants are generally not left as the sole consonant in a syllable (unless it's a very short syllable like 'e' or 'i').
- The 'sjons' cluster is treated as a single complex onset, which is typical in Norwegian.
- Vowel reduction in unstressed syllables is a common feature of Nynorsk pronunciation and affects the phonetic realization of the syllables.
