Onset Maximization
Consonant clusters are included in the onset if phonotactically permissible (e.g., 'fj', 'sp', 'rn').
Vowel Peak
Each syllable must contain a vowel.
Avoidance of Syllable-Final Consonant Clusters
Norwegian prefers to avoid consonant clusters at the end of a syllable.
- The 'rn' cluster is a common feature and is treated as part of the onset.
- Regional variations in the pronunciation of 'g' (/ɣ/) do not affect syllable division.
