Onset Maximization
Consonant clusters are kept together in the onset of a syllable to maximize the number of consonants at the beginning of the syllable.
Vowel Peak

- The 'h' before 'o' is silent but affects the vowel quality.
- Danish allows for complex consonant clusters, which can sometimes lead to ambiguity, but onset maximization generally resolves these cases.
