Vowel-Centric Syllables
Each syllable must contain a vowel sound, which dictates the boundaries between syllables.
- The consonant cluster 'svokst' is relatively complex but permissible in Nynorsk, particularly in compound words.
- Regional variations in vowel and consonant pronunciation (e.g., the 'v' sound) may exist but do not significantly alter the syllable division.
