Maximizing Onsets
Nynorsk favors creating syllables with consonant clusters at the beginning (onsets) whenever possible.
Geminate Consonants
Geminate consonants (doubled consonants) influence syllable weight but do not necessarily alter syllable division.
- The geminate 'n' in 'ten-' affects syllable weight but doesn't change the division.
- Regional variations in vowel pronunciation are minimal and do not affect syllable division.
