Vowel Peak Rule
Each syllable must contain a vowel sound. This is the primary driver of syllable division.
Consonant Cluster Preservation Rule
Consonant clusters are kept together unless they are exceptionally long or difficult to pronounce. The 'st' and 'sp' clusters are examples.
Onset Maximization Rule
Syllables tend to maximize their onsets (initial consonant sounds).
- The presence of *stød* (glottal stop) can influence the perceived boundaries between syllables, but doesn't change the orthographic syllabification.
- Danish allows for relatively long consonant clusters, requiring careful consideration of pronunciation.
