Maximize Onsets

Consonant clusters are generally kept together at the beginning of a syllable (e.g., 'st' in 'still').

Avoid Stranded Consonants

Consonants are not left at the end of a syllable unless necessary (e.g., 't' in 'valgt').

Vowel Grouping

Vowels within a single morpheme are often grouped into a single syllable (e.g., 'its' as a connecting vowel).

  • Nynorsk compounding allows for long words, requiring careful application of syllabification rules.
  • Geminate consonants (like 'll' in 'still') lengthen the preceding vowel.
  • Regional variations in pronunciation of 'r' (trill vs. tap) do not significantly affect syllable division.
