Onset Maximization
Norwegian prefers to include as many consonants as possible in the onset of a syllable (e.g., 'skj' in 'skjerm').
Vowel Nucleus

Sonority Sequencing
Syllable structure follows the sonority sequencing principle, with sounds decreasing in sonority from the beginning to the end of the syllable.
- Regional variations in the pronunciation of the final 'et' vowel might affect the perceived syllable boundary.
- The 'kj' cluster is treated as a single onset.
