Onset Maximization
Norwegian favors maximizing the number of consonants in the onset of a syllable, as seen in 'ak-' and 'stra-'.
Vowel as Nucleus
Each syllable must contain a vowel, dictating the syllable boundaries.
Consonant Cluster Handling
Consonant clusters are broken up based on sonority, but often remain within the same syllable if permissible (e.g., 'sj').
- The 'sj' cluster is treated as a single unit for syllabification.
- Vowel reduction in unstressed syllables does not affect the core syllable division.
