Maximize Onsets
Nynorsk favors creating syllables with consonant clusters at the beginning (onsets) whenever possible. This is evident in the division of 'vis' and 'nings'.
Avoid Stranded Consonants
Consonants are generally not left at the end of a syllable unless necessary. This is why 'stans' is a separate syllable.
- The 'v' sound can be realized as [ʋ] in some Nynorsk dialects.
- The cluster '-ings-' is generally stable in syllable division, though slight variations can occur in rapid speech.
