Onset Maximization
Prioritizes creating syllables with consonant clusters at the beginning (onsets) whenever possible.
Consonant Cluster Resolution
Resolves consonant clusters by assigning them to the following vowel.
- The 'nn' in *kunnskap* could potentially be divided as *kun-skap*, but *skunn-skap* is the preferred and historically accurate division.
- Regional variations in 'r' pronunciation (e.g., trilling) do not affect syllable division.
