Maximize Onsets

Consonant clusters (e.g., 'kt', 'vr') are kept together at the beginning of a syllable whenever possible.

Avoid Stranded Consonants

Consonants are not left at the end of a syllable unless necessary due to vowel sequences or other constraints.

Vowel Hiatus

Vowel sequences are generally broken into separate syllables, although diphthongs are treated as a single syllable.

  • The 'kt' cluster is a common onset in Nynorsk and doesn't pose a significant syllabification challenge.
  • Regional variations in vowel pronunciation might exist, but they generally do not affect the syllable division.
