Onset Maximization
Norwegian prefers to include as many consonants as possible in the onset of a syllable (e.g., 'dr' in 'drer').
Vowel-Centric Syllables
Each syllable generally contains one vowel sound.
Syllabic Consonants
Consonants like /r/ can form syllables on their own (e.g., 'dr̩').
- The 'nn' sequence is part of the prefix and doesn't create a syllable break.
- The syllabic 'r' is a common feature of Norwegian and must be accounted for.
