Onset Maximization

Consonant clusters are included in the onset of a syllable whenever possible (e.g., 'gj' in 'gjen').

Vowel Nucleus

Each syllable must contain a vowel nucleus (e.g., 'e' in 'set').

Avoidance of Syllable-Final Clusters

Norwegian tends to avoid complex consonant clusters at the end of a syllable.

  • Regional variations in vowel quality and consonant gemination may exist, but do not significantly alter the syllable division.
  • The length of the prefix 'gjenn-' influences the stress pattern.
