Onset Maximization
Norwegian favors maximizing consonant clusters in the onset of a syllable (e.g., 'bestem' instead of 'be-stem').

Compound Word Syllabification
Compound words are syllabified based on the individual morphemes, but with consideration for phonetic cohesion.
- Palatalization of /n/ before /j/ in 'sjøl' is a phonetic feature, not a syllabification rule.
- Double consonants (mm, tt) are treated as single units within the syllable.
