u-ten Open syllable, vowel-initial. Unstressed.. for CV syllable, stressed.. li-gg Onset consonant cluster 'gg', vowel-final. Unstressed.. en-de VCV syllable, with dentalization of 'n'. Unstressed.

Maximize Onset

Consonant clusters are generally maintained at the beginning of syllables (e.g., 'gg' in 'li-gg').

Vowel Break

Vowel sequences typically create syllable boundaries (e.g., 'en-de').

Open Syllable

Syllables ending in vowels are considered open (e.g., 'u-ten').

  • The 'nd' cluster in 'ende' could potentially be treated as a single unit in some analyses, but Nynorsk generally splits it.
  • Regional variations in vowel pronunciation (e.g., /ʉː/ to /yː/) may occur but do not affect syllabification.
