• Avoidance of Syllable-Final Consonant Clusters: Norwegian prefers to avoid ending syllables with consonant clusters.
• Vowel-Centric Syllables: Each syllable typically contains a vowel sound.

11. Special Considerations:

The "rs" cluster can sometimes be challenging, but in this case, it's treated as part of the onset of the second syllable. Regional variations in pronunciation might affect the precise realization of vowel sounds, but the syllabification remains consistent.

12. Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations:

Some dialects might slightly reduce the vowel length in unstressed syllables. However, this doesn't alter the core syllabification.
