Avoid Stranded Consonants
Consonants are not left alone to form a syllable.
- The 'g' in 'ungdoms' is often reduced or silent in colloquial speech, but it is still represented in the orthography and influences syllable division.
- Norwegian allows for some flexibility in syllable division, particularly with consonant clusters, but the proposed division aligns with the principle of maximizing onsets.
