Compound Syllabification

  • The presence of the stød (glottal stop) influences pronunciation but doesn't alter the written syllable division.
  • Regional variations in vowel pronunciation may exist, but the core syllabification remains consistent.
  • The reduced 'e' between 'virkelighed' and 'efter' is often elided in speech but remains orthographically present.
