Onset Maximization
Consonant clusters are included in the onset of the syllable whenever possible.
Vowel-Centric Syllables

Avoidance of Syllable-Final Consonant Clusters
Norwegian prefers to break up consonant clusters to avoid ending a syllable with multiple consonants.
- The 'skj' cluster is treated as a single unit.
- The linking element '-be-' is unstressed and can be difficult to delineate.
- Regional variations in vowel pronunciation may exist but do not affect syllabification.
