Maximize Onset Principle
Norwegian syllable division prioritizes creating syllables with consonant clusters at the beginning (onsets) whenever possible.
CV/CVC Structure
Syllables generally follow a Consonant-Vowel (CV) or Consonant-Vowel-Consonant (CVC) structure.
- Geminate consonants (like 'nn' in 'funns') are common and do not affect syllabification.
- Compound words can sometimes have ambiguous syllable boundaries, but the rules prioritize maximizing onsets.
