Splitting syllables after vowels.

Consonant Cluster Division

Morpheme Boundary Consideration

Syllable boundaries are allowed at morpheme boundaries.

  • The *-ds-* sequence is a linking morpheme and could be considered a single unit, but syllabifying it provides a clearer representation of the word's structure.
  • The double consonant *tt* in *retts-* is common in Norwegian and doesn't pose a syllabification challenge.
