Onset Maximization
Norwegian favors creating syllables with as many consonants in the onset as possible.
Vowel Nucleus
Each syllable must have a vowel nucleus.
Closed Syllable Rule
Syllables ending in a consonant are considered closed.
- The nasal vowel /ɑ̃/ in 'ran' is a common feature of Norwegian and doesn't affect syllable division.
- The geminate consonant /mː/ in 'nummer' is also typical and doesn't pose a division challenge.
