Onset Maximization
Norwegian prefers to include as many consonants as possible in the onset of a syllable (e.g., 'gj' in 'gjeste').
Vowel Peak
Each syllable must contain a vowel (the nucleus).
Sonority Sequencing
Syllable structure generally follows a sonority hierarchy (increasing sonority from onset to nucleus, then decreasing).
- The 'gj' cluster is a stable unit and doesn't typically split.
- Regional variations in the pronunciation of the final 'r' do not affect syllable division.
