Word Parts
Onset Maximization
Norwegian prefers to include as many consonants as possible in the onset of a syllable, as seen in 'retts' and 'ssak'.
Vowel Centering
Each syllable generally contains one vowel sound, guiding the division between consonant clusters and vowels.
Avoidance of Stranded Consonants
Consonants are generally not left at the end of a syllable unless they are part of a geminate consonant or a permissible consonant cluster.
- The geminate 'tt' and 'ss' do not affect the syllable division beyond being part of the syllable's structure.
- Regional variations in vowel pronunciation may exist but do not alter the core syllable division.
