Onset Maximization

Norwegian prefers to include as many consonants as possible in the onset of a syllable.

Sonority Sequencing Principle

Syllables generally follow a sonority hierarchy (vowels are more sonorous than consonants).

Avoidance of Stranded Consonants

Consonants are generally not left at the end of a syllable unless necessary.

  • The double 'n' in 'grunnlag' does not affect syllable division.
  • The consonant cluster /sk/ in 'diskusjons' is resolved by maximizing the onset.
