Maximize Onsets
Nynorsk favors placing as many consonants as possible at the beginning of a syllable. This is evident in the division of 'stend', 'ig', and 'stra'.
Vowel as Syllable Nucleus
Each syllable must contain a vowel sound, which serves as the nucleus. This dictates the boundaries between syllables.
- The consonant cluster '-str-' is common and doesn't pose a significant challenge to syllabification.
- Regional variations in vowel pronunciation might exist, but they don't fundamentally alter the syllable division.
