Maximize Onsets
Consonant clusters are generally kept together at the beginning of a syllable whenever possible.
Vowel Boundary Rule
Each vowel generally forms the nucleus of a separate syllable.
Avoid Stranded Consonants
Consonants are not left isolated at the end of a syllable unless necessary due to other rules.
- The long vowel /ɛː/ in 'frem' influences the syllable weight.
- The dental consonant /n̪/ in 'men' is a common feature of Norwegian pronunciation and doesn't affect syllable division.
- Regional variations in pronunciation might lead to slight differences in perceived syllable boundaries, but the core division remains consistent.
