Onset Maximization
Consonant clusters (like 'sk', 'kv') are maximized within the onset of a syllable.
Open Syllable Preference
Nynorsk favors open syllables (CV) whenever possible, leading to divisions like 'se'.
Vowel-Centric Division
Syllables are generally centered around vowels, dictating the boundaries between syllables.
Geminate Consonant Consideration
Geminate consonants (double consonants) contribute to syllable weight and influence division, though not directly visible in this example.
- The pronunciation of 'v' as [ʋ] in some Nynorsk dialects doesn't affect the syllabification.
- The geminate consonants (ss, rr, nn) are crucial for pronunciation and syllable weight, but don't alter the basic syllable division.
