Open Syllable Preference
Norwegian favors syllable divisions that create open syllables (ending in a vowel) whenever possible.
Avoidance of Complex Clusters
Consonant clusters are generally not broken unless they are particularly complex.
- The 'rv' cluster is common and doesn't pose a syllabification challenge.
- Vowel length in 'tur' is important for pronunciation but doesn't affect syllabification.
- Regional variations in vowel pronunciation might exist but won't significantly alter the syllable division.
