Onset Maximization
Prioritizing consonant clusters at the beginning of syllables (e.g., 'ut-', 'vik-').
Avoidance of Stranded Consonants

Sonority Sequencing Principle
Syllables tend to follow a sonority hierarchy, with sounds becoming more sonorous towards the nucleus (vowel).
- The 'kl' and 'ngs' consonant clusters are common in Nynorsk and do not present significant exceptions.
- Regional variations in vowel quality might exist, but are unlikely to alter the syllable division.
