Onset Maximization

Consonant clusters are kept together at the beginning of a syllable whenever possible (e.g., 'un-der').

Avoidance of Stranded Consonants

Consonants are not left at the end of a syllable unless they are part of a diphthong or a consonant cluster.

Vowel-Based Division

Syllables are typically divided around vowel sounds.

  • Geminated consonants (mm, nn, ss) represent lengthened consonant sounds.
  • The 'e' at the end of 'hjemme' can be reduced to a schwa /ə/ in rapid speech.
  • The 'd' in 'under' can be pronounced as /d/ or /ð/.
