Onset Maximization
Norwegian prefers to include as many consonants as possible in the onset of a syllable. This is applied throughout the word.
Vowel Centering
Each syllable must contain a vowel. This is a fundamental rule applied throughout the word.
Penultimate Stress
Stress generally falls on the penultimate syllable unless overridden by a long vowel or diphthong. This rule determined the stress placement.
- The compound nature of the word requires consideration of morphemic boundaries, but syllable division is based on phonological structure.
- Regional variations in the pronunciation of 'g' (as /ɡ/ or /v/) do not affect syllable division.
