Onset Maximization

Prioritizing consonant clusters at the beginning of syllables (e.g., 'ut-', 'vik-').

Avoidance of Stranded Consonants

Ensuring that consonants are not left at the end of a syllable without a following vowel.

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.
