Onset Maximization
Norwegian favors complex syllable onsets, as seen in 'nbrudds'.
Sonority Sequencing Principle
Syllables generally follow a sonority hierarchy, with vowels being more sonorous than consonants.
Stress Timing
Stress influences syllable prominence and perceived boundaries.
- Geminate consonant 'nn' in 'inn' creates a heavier syllable.
- The 'br' cluster is a common onset and doesn't pose a syllabification challenge.
