Open Syllable Preference
Danish favors open syllables (CV) whenever possible. Syllable divisions are made to maximize the number of open syllables.
Consonant Cluster Retention
Consonant clusters are generally kept within a single syllable unless they are exceptionally complex or disrupt the open syllable preference.
- The presence of the *stød* (glottal stop) doesn't directly affect syllabification, but influences pronunciation.
- Danish allows for relatively long consonant clusters, which can sometimes create ambiguity, but the rules prioritize keeping them together.
