Consonant Cluster Preservation
Nynorsk avoids breaking up consonant clusters unless necessary. 'sp', 'sv', and 'sk' are preserved within syllables.
Morphemic Boundaries
The hyphen indicates a morphemic boundary, and the syllable division respects this boundary.
Open Syllable Preference
Where possible, syllables end in vowels (open syllables). 'spansk' and 'sveit' are examples.
- The hyphen is crucial for correct syllabification. Without it, the word would be treated as a single unit.
