Onset Maximization
Consonant clusters are kept together as onsets whenever possible, avoiding unnecessary syllable breaks within clusters.
Vowel Center Rule
Each syllable must contain a vowel sound.
Avoidance of Closed Syllables
Norwegian prefers open syllables (ending in a vowel), but closed syllables are allowed when necessary.
- The 'nt' and 'rd' consonant clusters are common in Norwegian and do not typically trigger syllable division.
- Stress placement in compound words can deviate from the general rule of stressing the first syllable.
