Maximize Onsets
The syllable division prioritizes creating syllables with consonant clusters at the beginning (onsets) whenever possible, as seen in 'skotts' and 'regn'.
Avoid Stranded Consonants
Consonants are generally not left at the end of a syllable unless necessary, preventing syllables like 'o-vers' which would leave 's' stranded.
- The 'tt' cluster in 'overskott' can be reduced in rapid speech, but is generally maintained in careful pronunciation.
- The genitive '-s' is always pronounced, even when creating consonant clusters.
