Vowel-Consonant Division
Syllables are often divided after vowels followed by consonants.
- Vowel reduction in unstressed syllables (e.g., 'o' in 'hoved' becoming /ə/) is a common phonetic phenomenon but doesn't affect the orthographic syllable division.
- The consonant cluster 'str' in 'styre' is a common feature of Norwegian and doesn't present a significant syllabification challenge.
