Consonant Cluster Handling

Consonant clusters are generally split based on sonority, but common clusters like 'rs' remain intact within a syllable.

Geminate Consonant Effect

Geminate consonants (doubled consonants) lengthen the syllable but do not affect syllable division.

  • The 'rs' cluster is a common feature of Nynorsk and doesn't pose a significant syllabification challenge.
  • Regional variations in Nynorsk pronunciation are relatively minor and do not significantly alter syllabification.
