Onset Maximization

Norwegian prefers to include as many consonants as possible in the onset of a syllable.

Vowel Nucleus

Each syllable must have a vowel nucleus.

Syllabic Consonant Rule

Consonants like /n/ can function as syllable nuclei in certain contexts.

Compound Word Syllabification

Compound words are generally syllabified based on the individual morphemes.

  • The geminate 'mm' in 'hjemme' could potentially lead to a division of 'hjem-me', but the preferred division is 'hjem-me' to maintain the morphemic integrity.
  • Regional variations in pronunciation might affect the precise realization of vowel qualities, but not the core syllabification.
