Maximize Onsets
Nynorsk prioritizes creating syllables with consonant clusters at the beginning (onsets) whenever possible. This is evident in 'vals' and 'bej'.
Avoid Stranded Consonants
Consonants are generally not left at the end of a syllable unless absolutely necessary. This rule is applied throughout the word.
- The 'rb' cluster in 'arbeider' is a common feature and doesn't pose a significant syllabification challenge.
- Regional variations in vowel quality ('a') may exist, but do not affect the core syllable division.
