Maximize Onset Principle
Consonant clusters are maximized in the onset position (e.g., 'tr' in 'tredje').
Open Syllable Preference
Syllables tend to be open (CV) whenever possible, avoiding closed syllables unless necessary.
Vowel Hiatus Avoidance
Vowel hiatus is avoided by inserting a glide or breaking up the sequence into separate syllables.
- The 'rd' cluster is treated as a single unit within a syllable.
- The 'j' is a glide and forms a syllable onset.
- Stress placement is typical for Norwegian compound nouns (penultimate syllable).
