Onset Maximization
Consonant clusters are included in the onset of the syllable whenever possible (e.g., 'skap', 'pro').
Avoid Stranded Consonants
Consonants are not left isolated at the beginning of a syllable unless necessary (e.g., 's' as a linking morpheme).
Vowel-Centric Syllables
Each syllable must contain a vowel sound.
- The geminate consonant 'ss' at the end of 'prosess' is phonemically significant in Norwegian and is represented as a long 's' in the IPA transcription.
- The linking morpheme 's' forms a syllable on its own, which is common in Norwegian compound words.
