• Onset Maximization: Consonant clusters are generally kept together at the beginning of a syllable (e.g., ar-, tak-, si-).
• Vowel Sequencing: Each vowel sound generally forms the nucleus of a separate syllable (e.g., -ei-, -ø-).
• Sonority Sequencing: Syllables are structured to follow the sonority sequencing principle, with sounds decreasing in sonority from the nucleus outwards.
