Maximize Onsets
Nynorsk favors placing as many consonants as possible at the beginning of a syllable. This is evident in 'trykk', 'knapp', and 'sipp'.
Avoid Stranded Consonants
Consonants are generally not left at the end of a syllable unless necessary due to vowel combinations or morpheme boundaries.
- The pronunciation of 'k' before certain vowels can vary between hard and soft pronunciations, but is generally hard in 'knapp'.
- Double consonants (kk, pp, ss) maintain vowel length in the following syllable.
- Stress patterns in compound nouns can be somewhat flexible, with the first syllable sometimes receiving secondary stress.
