Onset Maximization
Nynorsk favors maximizing onsets (consonant clusters at the beginning of a syllable). This is why 'til' is a separate syllable.
Vowel Break
Each vowel nucleus generally forms a syllable.
Consonant Cluster Resolution
Consonant clusters are broken according to sonority hierarchy, but often remain within the onset if possible.
- The 'el' suffix can sometimes be pronounced as a schwa /ə/, but this doesn't alter the syllable division.
- Regional variations in vowel quality exist, but the core syllabic structure remains consistent.
