Onset-Rime Principle

Syllables are formed around a vowel nucleus, with preceding consonants forming the onset and following consonants forming the rime.

Sonority Sequencing Principle

Consonant clusters are broken down based on sonority, with more sonorous sounds tending to be syllable peaks.

Avoidance of Isolated Consonants

Norwegian generally avoids leaving single consonants as syllable beginnings or endings unless they are part of a cluster.

Compound Word Syllabification

Compound words are syllabified as if they were separate words joined together.

  • The 'sj'-cluster is treated as a single unit for syllabic purposes, despite its complex phonetic realization.
  • The double 'r' in 'sikkerhet' indicates a rolled 'r' sound, influencing pronunciation but not syllabification.
  • The linking 's' is a unique case, functioning as a syllable on its own.
