Maximize Onsets

Nynorsk prioritizes creating syllables with consonant clusters at the beginning (onsets) whenever possible. This is evident in 'vegs' and 'syk'.

Avoid Stranded Consonants

Consonants are generally not left at the end of a syllable unless necessary. This is why 'ling' is a separate syllable rather than being attached to 'syk'.

  • Gemination (double consonants) affects syllable weight but doesn't change syllable division.
  • The pronunciation of 'g' can vary regionally, but doesn't impact syllabification.
  • Compound nouns are common in Nynorsk, and their syllabification follows the general rules of maximizing onsets and avoiding stranded consonants.
