Onset Maximization
Consonant clusters (e.g., 'sk', 'sj') are generally kept within the onset of a syllable.
Sonority Sequencing Principle
Syllables tend to follow a sonority hierarchy, with a peak of sonority (usually a vowel) surrounded by less sonorous sounds.
Avoidance of Initial Consonant Clusters
Nynorsk tends to avoid syllables beginning with complex consonant clusters, though this is not a strict rule.
- The 'sj' and 'sk' clusters are treated as single units for syllabification.
- Vowel reduction in unstressed syllables is common but doesn't affect the syllabification itself.
- Regional variations in pronunciation may exist, but generally don't alter the core syllabification rules.
