Onset Maximization
Norwegian favors maximizing onsets, leading to syllable divisions like 'si' instead of 's-i'.
Vowel Nucleus
Each syllable must contain a vowel nucleus.
Sonority Sequencing Principle
Syllables generally follow a sonority hierarchy.
- The double consonant 'mm' in 'hjemme' doesn't affect syllable division.
- Palatalization of /t/ before /i/ is a dialectal variation and doesn't change the syllabic structure.
