Word Parts
Maximizing Onsets
Norwegian syllable division prefers to include as many consonants as possible in the onset of a syllable, as long as it adheres to Norwegian phonotactics.
Open Syllable Preference
When possible, syllables are formed to be open (ending in a vowel).
- The compound nature of the word requires careful consideration of morpheme boundaries.
- Regional variations in vowel quality and the realization of /ɾ/ are possible but do not affect syllable division.
