Danish prefers to include as many consonants as possible in the onset of a syllable, as seen in 'tri', 'ci', and 'ska'.
Vowel Nucleus

Consonant Cluster Handling
Complex consonant clusters are generally kept together within a syllable, such as 'tr' and 'sk'.
- The 't' between vowels can sometimes be realized as a flap [ɾ], but this doesn't affect syllabification.
- Danish allows for complex consonant clusters, which require careful consideration during division.
