Onset Maximization

Norwegian prefers to maximize the number of consonants in the onset of a syllable, leading to divisions like 'le-di-ghets' instead of 'led-ig-hets'.

Vowel as Syllable Nucleus

Each syllable must contain a vowel nucleus.

Compound Word Syllabification

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

  • The velar fricative /ɣ/ represented by 'g' could potentially cause ambiguity, but it clearly belongs to the syllable 'hets' in this case.
  • The compound nature of the word requires considering the individual morphemes and their typical stress patterns.
