Onset Maximization

Consonant clusters are kept together as onsets whenever possible, such as in 'for-' and 'hånds-'.

Open Syllable Preference

Syllables tend to be open (CV) rather than closed (CVC), leading to divisions like 'in-' and 'te-'.

  • Regional variations in the pronunciation of 'h' (silent or lightly aspirated) do not affect syllabification.
  • The geminate consonant 'sː' is treated as a single unit within the syllable 'res-'.
