Open Syllable Preference
Nynorsk favors syllables of the form CV (consonant-vowel). Syllable division aims to create as many open syllables as possible.
Consonant Cluster Tolerance
Consonant clusters are permitted, particularly at the beginning of syllables, but syllable division avoids splitting consonant clusters unnecessarily.
- The pronunciation of the final 'e' is consistent and contributes to the open syllable structure.
- The consonant cluster 'rm' in 'formørk' is a common feature of Nynorsk and doesn't affect syllable division.
