Onset Maximization
Danish prefers to include as many consonants as possible in the onset of a syllable, as seen in 'vr' and 'sk'.
Vowel Nucleus
Each syllable must have a vowel nucleus, which dictates the syllable boundaries.
Sonority Sequencing

- The presence of the stød (glottal stop) can affect the perceived boundaries between syllables, but it doesn't alter the underlying syllable structure.
- Regional variations in pronunciation might exist, but they generally don't change the core syllabification.
