Onset Maximization

Consonant clusters (e.g., 'ss', 'sm') are kept together as onsets.

Open Syllable Preference

Nynorsk favors open syllables (CV) whenever possible.

Compound Word Syllabification

Compound words are syllabified based on the individual morphemes.

  • The linking 's' between morphemes does not create a separate syllable.
  • The 'gg' cluster in *tilleggs* is a common feature and doesn't affect syllabification.
