Word Parts
Maximize Onsets
Danish syllable division generally favors creating syllables with consonant clusters at the beginning (onsets) rather than ending (codas).
Vowel Division
Syllable division typically occurs before a vowel sound.
- The 'stød' (glottal stop) on 'sokkel' influences syllable weight but doesn't change syllable division.
- Consonant clusters like 'sk' are treated as single onsets.
