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.
