Sonority Sequencing Principle

Syllables tend to follow a sonority hierarchy, with higher sonority elements (vowels) forming the nucleus.

  • The 'skj' cluster is a common feature of Norwegian and doesn't present a significant syllabification challenge.
  • The 'ft' cluster is permissible as an onset.
  • Regional variations in vowel pronunciation might exist, but they generally don't affect the core syllabification.
