Compound Word Syllabification

Compound words are often divided at morpheme boundaries, but this is not a rigid rule and can be influenced by phonotactic constraints.

  • Potential lenition of the 'd' in *gjødsel* in some dialects, which might affect the perceived syllable boundary but not the orthographic division.
  • The 'gj' cluster is treated as a single onset, despite being two letters.
