• Consonant Cluster Rule: Consonant clusters are generally maintained within a syllable unless they are complex and difficult to pronounce.
• Stress-Timing: Nynorsk is stress-timed, meaning syllables are adjusted in duration to maintain a relatively consistent stress interval.

11. Special Considerations:

The compound nature of the word is the primary consideration. Nynorsk compound nouns generally maintain the stress pattern of the first element.
