Onset Maximization

Consonant clusters like 'dr' are preferred as onsets, creating a syllable structure that maximizes the number of consonants at the beginning of a syllable.

Avoidance of Stranded Consonants

Consonants are generally not left at the end of a syllable unless necessary, ensuring each syllable has a vowel sound.

Vowel-Centric Syllables

Each syllable must contain a vowel sound, forming the nucleus of the syllable.

  • The 'r' sound can be vocalized or reduced in rapid speech, but this doesn't alter the syllabification.
  • Nynorsk allows for relatively free consonant clusters, making the 'dr' onset acceptable.
