Open Syllable Preference

Nynorsk favors open syllables (CV) whenever possible. This is applied in 'ung', 'for', and 'bry'.

Consonant Cluster Resolution

Consonant clusters are broken up based on sonority, with less sonorous consonants forming the coda of the preceding syllable. This is seen in 'doms' and 'ter'.

Vowel Separation

Vowels generally initiate new syllables, leading to the separation of 'for'.

  • The 'ms' cluster in 'doms' is a common occurrence and doesn't require special handling.
  • The prefix 'for' could potentially be integrated into the root, but its distinct vowel sound justifies its separation as a syllable.
  • Regional variations in pronunciation might affect the precise realization of vowel qualities, but not the core syllabification.
