Onset Maximization

Norwegian favors maximizing consonant clusters in the onset of a syllable.

Vowel-Based Division

Syllables are generally divided around vowels.

Geminate consonants are treated as a single unit within a syllable.

  • The 'gj' sound is a single phoneme, not a consonant cluster for syllabification.
  • Geminate consonants influence syllable weight but don't necessarily dictate syllable boundaries.
