Vowel-Following Division
Syllables are generally divided after vowels (an-, han-).
Consonant Cluster Division
When consonant clusters occur, division occurs to avoid illegal syllable onsets (greps-, dling).
Maximal Onset Principle
Applied where possible, but constrained by Norwegian phonotactics.
- The linking vowel *-s-* doesn't form a syllable on its own; it's part of the compound formation process.
- The final consonant cluster *-dling* is relatively common in Norwegian and doesn't present a significant exception.
