Maximize Onsets

Nynorsk syllable division prioritizes creating syllables with consonant clusters at the beginning (onsets) whenever possible. This is evident in 'væp', 'nings', 'in', 'dus', and 'tri'.

Avoid Stranded Consonants

Consonants are generally not left at the end of a syllable unless necessary due to the word's structure. This is why 'n' is included in 'nings' and 'in'.

  • The consonant cluster 'pn' is relatively uncommon but permissible in Nynorsk.
  • Regional variations in the pronunciation of /r/ might slightly affect the perceived syllable boundaries, but not the division itself.
