Onset Maximization
Consonant clusters are included in the onset of the syllable whenever possible (e.g., 'våk').
Vowel Peak Principle
Each syllable must contain a vowel sound.
Syllable Boundary Preference
Syllable boundaries are preferred after vowels, unless a consonant cluster allows for a more complex onset.
- The 'våk' cluster could potentially be simplified in colloquial speech, but is maintained in standard Nynorsk.
- Regional variations in vowel pronunciation (e.g., the 'ø' diphthong) may exist but do not affect the syllable division.
