Consonant-Vowel (CV)

Basic syllable structure rule; a consonant followed by a vowel forms a syllable.

Consonant Cluster-Vowel (CCV)

Permissible consonant clusters at the beginning of a syllable are allowed.

  • The 'sp' cluster is a common and permissible onset in Norwegian. The double 'l' does not create a syllable break.
