The syllable division attempts to create syllables with consonants as onsets whenever possible (e.g., 'bed', 'ring', 'til').
Vowel Sequences

Syllabic Consonant
The 's' functions as a syllabic consonant, forming a syllable on its own due to its position between vowels.
Important exceptions or unusual features in this word's pronunciation or structure
Nynorsk compound words often exhibit flexibility in stress placement, but the final element typically receives the strongest stress.
The linking 's' can sometimes be omitted in colloquial speech, but its presence affects the syllabification.

What is hyphenation
Hyphenation is the process of splitting words into syllables and inserting hyphens between them to facilitate the reading of a text. It is also used to divide words when the word cannot fit on a line.
This technique is particularly helpful in fully justified texts, where it aids in creating a uniform edge along both sides of a paragraph. Hyphenation rules vary among languages and even among different publications within the same language. It's a critical component in typesetting, significantly influencing the aesthetics and readability of printed and digital media. For instance, in compound adjectives like 'long-term solution', hyphens clarify relationships between words, preventing misinterpretation. Moreover, hyphenation can alter meanings: 'recreation' differs from 're-creation'.
With the advent of digital text, hyphenation algorithms have become more sophisticated, though still imperfect, sometimes requiring manual adjustment to ensure accuracy and coherence in text layout. Understanding and correctly applying hyphenation rules is therefore not only a matter of linguistic accuracy but also a key aspect of effective visual communication.
