This syllable is relatively weak.. opp — Closed syllable, containing the rounded vowel /ɔ/ and the bilabial plosive /p/. The vowel is lengthened, indicated by the /ː/ diacritic.. slag — Closed syllable, containing the sibilant /s/, the lateral approximant /l/, the vowel /ɑ/, and the voiced velar plosive /ɡ/.

Maximize Onsets

The syllable division attempts to include as many consonants as possible in the onset of each syllable. This is evident in 'ska' and 'slag'.

Avoid Stranded Consonants

No consonant is left isolated as the only element of a syllable. This is why 'nda' is not divided as 'n-da'.

Vowel as Syllable Nucleus

Each syllable contains a vowel that serves as its nucleus.

  • The 'pp' cluster in 'oppslag' is less common but treated as a single onset.
  • Nynorsk pronunciation can have regional variations, potentially affecting vowel quality but not syllable division.
