Each syllable must contain a vowel sound, which serves as the nucleus.
- The presence of the stød (glottal stop) influences pronunciation but doesn't directly affect syllable division.
- Compound word stress deviates from the typical initial stress rule.
- Consonant clusters can be challenging to syllabify, requiring careful application of the onset maximization rule.
