Vowel Peak Rule
Each syllable must contain a vowel sound. This is the primary driver of syllable division.
Consonant Cluster Rule
Consonant clusters are maintained within a syllable unless they are exceptionally complex or unpronounceable as a unit.
Onset/Coda Rule
Syllables can have onsets and codas, but these are governed by Nynorsk phonotactics.
- The 'br' consonant cluster is common and doesn't pose a division issue.
- The 'ig' sequence is standard and doesn't require special treatment.
- The double 'r' indicates a rolled 'r' sound and vowel lengthening.
