Sonority Sequencing

Syllable structure follows the sonority sequencing principle, with sounds decreasing in sonority from the beginning to the end of the syllable.

  • The 'sj' cluster is treated as a single onset consonant cluster.
  • Double consonants ('pp', 'ss') do not pose special syllabification challenges in Nynorsk.
  • Regional variations in pronunciation might affect the strength of the 'r' sound in 'leder', but not the syllable boundaries.
