Maximize Onsets

Norwegian favors placing as many consonants as possible at the beginning of a syllable.

Vowel Sequences

Vowel sequences are generally divided into separate syllables.

Syllable Coda Preference

Syllables tend to avoid complex codas (consonant clusters at the end of a syllable) when possible.

  • The 'spr' cluster is treated as a single onset due to the following vowel.
  • The 'j' sound is considered a semi-vowel and is included in the syllable onset.
  • Stress placement can be influenced by the morphological structure of the word (prefix, root, suffix).
