Vowel Onset Rule
Syllables generally begin with a vowel.
Maximizing Onset Rule
Consonant clusters are maximized in the onset position before a syllable division is made.
Coda Complexity Rule
Norwegian allows for relatively complex codas, so syllable division prioritizes maximizing the onset.
Stress Placement Rule
Stress typically falls on the first syllable containing a long vowel or on the root syllable.
- The combination of prefixes (*ug-* and *gjennom-*) is relatively common in Norwegian, and the syllabification follows established patterns.
- The long vowel /ɛː/ in *en* is typical for Norwegian and doesn't create any syllabification issues.
