Onset Maximization
Norwegian prefers to include as many consonants as possible in the onset of a syllable.
Vowel Sequencing
Each vowel generally forms the nucleus of its own syllable.
Sonority Sequencing Principle
Syllables tend to follow a sonority hierarchy (vowels are more sonorous than consonants).
- The genitive '-ers' suffix can sometimes be pronounced with a reduced vowel, but this doesn't affect the syllable division.
- Regional variations in vowel quality might exist, but the core syllable structure remains consistent.
