Onset Maximization

Consonant clusters are kept together as onsets whenever possible.

Vowel Peak Principle

Each syllable must contain a vowel nucleus.

Sonority Sequencing Constraint

Syllables generally follow a sonority hierarchy (vowels are more sonorous than consonants).

  • The double 't' in 'rett' affects vowel length but not syllabification.
  • Palatalization of 'j' in 'skriv' doesn't impact syllable division.
  • Compound nouns in Nynorsk typically have stress on the penultimate syllable.
