tje-nes-te/t͡ʃɛnəstə/

o-ver Open syllable, stressed. Vowel is short and unrounded.. våk-ning Syllable with a consonant cluster. Vowel is long and rounded. 'n' is sonorant and part of the syllable nucleus.. tje-nes-te Three syllables, with a palatalized consonant. The final syllable is unstressed.

Open Syllable Preference

Nynorsk favors open syllables (CV) whenever possible. This is evident in the division of 'o-ver' and 'tje-nes-te'.

Sonorant Consonant Rule

Sonorant consonants (like 'n' in 'våk-ning') can often be part of the syllable nucleus, allowing for consonant clusters within syllables.

  • The consonant cluster '-våk-' is a potential edge case, but is permissible in Nynorsk.
  • Regional variations in pronunciation might affect the precise realization of vowels, but not the syllable division.
