Onset Maximization
Norwegian prefers to maximize consonant clusters in the onset of a syllable, as seen in 'ska'.
Vowel-Centric Syllabification
Each vowel generally forms the nucleus of a syllable.
Syllabic Consonant Rule
The 'r' can function as a syllabic consonant, though it's not strictly syllabic in this case.
- The realization of the 'r' sound can vary regionally (more or less retroflex).
- Syllabic 'r' is a potential consideration, but in this word, it doesn't significantly alter the syllable division.
