• Sonority Sequencing Principle: Syllable structure follows a sonority hierarchy, with sounds becoming more sonorous towards the nucleus.

11. Special Considerations:

The compound nature of the word requires careful consideration of morpheme boundaries when determining syllable divisions. The prefix "for-" is treated as a separate syllable due to its distinct morphemic function.

Regional variations in Nynorsk pronunciation might affect vowel quality (e.g., the "o" in "forbindelse") but generally do not alter the syllable division.
