Consonant clusters are often maintained within a syllable, particularly if they form a natural phonetic unit.
- The geminate 'mm' in 'tømm' is a key factor in the syllabification, preventing a split across syllables.
- Regional variations in vowel pronunciation might exist, but do not significantly alter the syllable division.
