Maximize Onsets
The syllable division attempts to create syllables with as many initial consonants as possible (e.g., 'aks' instead of 'a-ks').
Avoid Stranded Consonants
Consonants are generally not left at the end of a syllable unless necessary (e.g., 'menn' instead of 'me-nn').
Vowel as Syllable Nucleus
Each syllable must contain a vowel sound, which serves as the nucleus.
- The geminate consonant 'nn' in 'ålmenn' is pronounced as a long consonant, but doesn't affect syllable division.
- The 'ks' cluster is a common onset in Norwegian and doesn't pose a significant challenge to syllabification.
