Onset Maximization

Attempting to include as many consonants as possible in the onset of a syllable, e.g., 'stil'.

Vowel Peak Principle

Each syllable must contain a vowel sound, guiding the division around vowel nuclei.

Avoidance of Stranded Consonants

Avoiding leaving a single consonant at the end of a syllable unless it's part of a legitimate consonant cluster.

  • The /rs/ cluster is generally maintained in standard Nynorsk, despite potential simplification in colloquial speech.
  • The double 'l' in 'stilling' indicates a long consonant sound, influencing pronunciation.
  • Schwa reduction in unstressed syllables can occur, but doesn't affect the syllable division.
