Open Syllable Preference
Nynorsk favors open syllables (CV structure) whenever possible. This is evident in the division of 'lys', 'te', and 'ning'.
Consonant Cluster Handling
Consonant clusters are generally maintained within a syllable unless they are exceptionally complex or disrupt the natural flow of pronunciation. The 'stj-' cluster in 'stje' is an example.
Morpheme Boundary Consideration
Syllable division often respects morpheme boundaries, but this is not a strict rule. In this case, the division aligns with the morphemic structure.
- The palatalization of 'j' does not affect syllable division.
- Regional variations in pronunciation might lead to slight differences in perceived syllable boundaries, but the core division remains consistent.
