Onset Maximization
Norwegian favors placing as many consonants as possible in the onset of a syllable, leading to clusters like 'stopp'.
Sonority Sequencing Principle
Syllables generally follow a sonority hierarchy, with vowels being more sonorous than consonants.
- The double consonants (tt, pp, ss) affect syllable weight.
- Regional variations in the pronunciation of /r/ (uvular vs. alveolar) might slightly affect the perceived syllable boundaries.
