Onset Maximization

Consonant clusters are included in the onset of the syllable whenever possible (e.g., 'tfas').

Vowel Centering

Each syllable must contain a vowel sound.

Avoidance of Stranded Consonants

Consonants are not left at the end of a syllable unless necessary due to consonant clusters.

  • The 'dt' cluster in 'midt' is treated as a single onset due to historical development.
  • The double 's' in 'fastes' is a common feature in Nynorsk and doesn't alter syllable division.
