Consonant Cluster Maintenance

Consonant clusters are typically kept together within a syllable unless they are exceptionally complex or disrupt the open syllable preference.

Stress usually falls on the first syllable of the root word, but this can shift in compounds.

Compound Stress Shift

In compound words, stress can shift to a later syllable, often the second syllable.

  • The geminate consonant 'tt' in 'natt' could potentially influence syllable division, but it's maintained within the syllable due to the following vowel.
  • Regional variations in vowel pronunciation might exist, but they don't typically affect syllable division.
