Onset Maximization
The syllable division prioritizes creating syllables with maximal onsets (consonant clusters at the beginning of a syllable).
Closed Syllable Preference
Syllables ending in consonants are preferred, maximizing syllable weight.
- Gemination (double consonants) is a common feature in Norwegian and doesn't affect the basic syllabification rules.
- Regional variations in 'r' pronunciation (alveolar vs. uvular) do not impact syllable division.
