Onset Maximization
Consonant clusters are maintained as onsets whenever possible (e.g., 'str' in 'karakter').
Open Syllable Preference

Vowel-to-Vowel Separation
Vowels generally separate into different syllables (e.g., 'ka-rak').
- The pronunciation of 'r' varies regionally and doesn't affect syllabification.
- The 'gj' cluster is a common feature of Norwegian and doesn't pose a syllabification challenge.
