Word Parts
Onset Maximization
Nynorsk favors maximizing consonant clusters in onsets, leading to divisions like 'sam-ban' instead of 'sam-ban-d'.
Vowel-Centric Syllabification
Each vowel sound generally forms the nucleus of a syllable.
Compound Word Syllabification
Compound words are syllabified based on the individual morphemes, while still adhering to onset maximization principles.
- The 'd' in 'samband' can be subject to lenition or elision in some dialects, but this doesn't affect the written syllable division.
- The syllable 'ds' is a somewhat unusual case, but acceptable given the consonant cluster and the overall phonotactic constraints of Nynorsk.
