Maximize Onsets
Nynorsk prioritizes creating syllables with consonant clusters at the beginning (onsets) whenever possible. This is evident in the 'ba-' and 'ven-' syllables.
Avoid Stranded Consonants
Consonants are generally not left at the end of a syllable unless necessary. This is why 'ke' and 'den' are separate syllables.
Vowel-Based Division
Vowels typically form the nucleus of a syllable, and syllable boundaries often occur between vowels.
- Regional variations in pronunciation might affect the realization of the final '-e', but the syllabification remains consistent.
- The 'k' and 'v' clusters are common and do not pose a significant challenge to syllabification.
- Rapid speech may lead to elision of the 'd' in '-den-', but this does not alter the underlying syllable structure.
