Maximize Onsets
Consonant clusters are generally kept together at the beginning of a syllable (e.g., 'gangs').
Avoid Stranded Consonants
Consonants are not left at the end of a syllable unless necessary due to vowel sequences (e.g., 'til-legg').
- The 'ng' cluster is treated as a single unit.
- Double consonants (like 'll' in 'tillegg') do not create syllable breaks.
- Nynorsk generally has a weak stress system, so stress is relatively subtle.
