Onset-Rime Division

Syllables are divided into an onset (initial consonant(s)) and a rime (vowel and any following consonants).

Maximizing Onset Principle

Norwegian favors maximizing the number of consonants in the onset of a syllable.

  • The 't' in 'tets' could potentially be analyzed as part of the onset of the following syllable, but the standard division maintains it within the 'tets' syllable.
