Word Parts
Onset-Rime Principle
Syllables are formed around a vowel nucleus, with preceding consonants forming the onset and following consonants forming the rime.
Sonority Sequencing Principle
Consonant clusters are resolved based on sonority, with more sonorous sounds tending to be closer to the vowel.
Avoidance of Isolated Consonants
Norwegian generally avoids leaving single consonants as syllable onsets or codas unless they are part of a larger cluster.
- The geminate consonant 'nn' in 'hinne' is maintained as a single syllable unit, avoiding a split that would be unnatural in Norwegian.
- The connecting vowel 'be' forms a short, independent syllable.
