Vowel Nucleus Rule
Syllables are formed around vowel nuclei. Each syllable must contain a vowel sound.
Onset Maximization Rule
Consonant clusters are maximized in the onset (beginning) of a syllable.
- The 'nd' cluster in 'gan-dis-' could potentially be split, but Nynorsk generally prefers to keep such clusters intact within a syllable.
- Dialectal variations might affect vowel quality but are unlikely to significantly alter the syllable division.
