Onset Maximization
Consonant clusters are generally kept together as onsets (e.g., 'ks' in 'boks').
Vowel Sequence Separation
Vowel sequences are often separated into different syllables (e.g., 'mel-lom').
Closed Syllable Preference
Syllables ending in consonants are preferred (e.g., 'boks', 'ing').
- The long vowel in 'mellom' (indicated by /mɛlː/) influences the syllable division.
- The 'ks' cluster is treated as a single onset, a common feature in Norwegian.
- Nynorsk has a relatively weak stress system, so the stress on 'vekts' is subtle but present.
