Onset Maximization

Norwegian favors maximizing the onsets of syllables, assigning consonants to the following vowel.

Vowel Centering

Each syllable must contain a vowel nucleus.

Consonant Cluster Resolution

Consonant clusters are broken up to create permissible onsets and codas.

  • The 'gj' cluster is a common initial consonant cluster and doesn't pose a syllabification issue.
  • Doubled consonants 'nn' and 'kk' influence syllable weight but don't alter the basic syllabification.
