Onset Maximization
Consonant clusters are kept together in the onset of a syllable (e.g., 'gjø').
Vowel Sequencing
Each vowel generally forms the nucleus of a separate syllable.
Avoid Stranded Consonants
Consonants are not left alone at the end of a syllable unless they are schwa-like.
- The suffix '-relse' consistently forms a syllable on its own.
- The 'gjø' root can sometimes be pronounced with a slightly reduced vowel, but this doesn't affect the syllable division.
