• Onset Maximization: Norwegian prefers to include as many consonants as possible in the onset of a syllable.
• Vowel Centering: Each syllable must contain a vowel.
• Compound Word Stress: Primary stress typically falls on the first element of a compound word.

11. Special Considerations:

The 'ø' vowel can have slight regional variations in pronunciation, but this doesn't affect the syllabification. The geminate consonants (double 'm') are pronounced as long consonants, influencing syllable weight but not division.
