Onset Maximization
Norwegian prefers to include as many consonants as possible in the onset of a syllable, keeping consonant clusters intact.
Vowel Peak
Each syllable must contain a vowel.
- The geminate consonants /tt/ and /ll/ could theoretically be split, but this is not standard practice.
- The word is a compound, and the syllable division reflects the boundaries between the constituent morphemes.
