Maximize Onsets

Consonant clusters are grouped together to form the onset of a syllable whenever possible (e.g., 'tr', 'pr', 'sk').

Vowel Nucleus

Each syllable must contain a vowel nucleus. Syllables are formed around the vowel.

  • The 'ør' digraph is consistently treated as a single syllable unit.
  • Regional variations in the pronunciation of the 'r' sound may exist, but do not affect syllable division.
  • Stress placement can be influenced by the '-skap' suffix.
