Avoid Stranded Consonants

- The 'kj' digraph is pronounced as /ç/, which is a palatal fricative, a common feature of Norwegian.
- Consonant clusters like 'mp' and 'str' are typical in Norwegian and are handled by maximizing onsets.
- Regional variations in vowel pronunciation might exist, but they do not significantly alter the syllable division.
