Onset Maximization
Norwegian favors maximizing consonant clusters in the onset of a syllable (e.g., 'st' in 'stendighet').
Avoidance of Stranded Consonants
Consonants are generally not left at the end of a syllable unless they are part of a permissible cluster.
Vowel-Based Division
Syllables are typically centered around vowels.
- Regional variations in vowel pronunciation might affect the precise phonetic realization, but the syllable division remains consistent.
- The consonant cluster /stɛn/ is a common occurrence and doesn't present a significant edge case.
