Vowel Break

Syllables are typically divided after vowels.

Avoid Stranded Consonants

Consonants are not left alone to form a syllable unless necessary.

  • The 's' between 'ligning' and 'funksjon' is a linking 's' and doesn't form a syllable on its own.
  • Regional variations in pronunciation may affect vowel reduction or palatalization, but not the core syllable division.
