Onset Maximization

Consonant clusters are kept together at the beginning of a syllable.

Vowel Sequence Rule

Each vowel generally forms the nucleus of a separate syllable.

Avoid Stranded Consonants

Consonants are not left alone to form a syllable without a vowel.

  • The 'j' sound consistently functions as an onset.
  • The double 'l' in 'opplæring' creates a geminate consonant, affecting timing but not division.
