Syllables are formed to include as many consonants as possible in the onset and coda, respecting sonority hierarchy.
Avoid Stranded Consonants
Consonants are not left isolated at the beginning or end of a syllable if they can be incorporated into an adjacent syllable.
- The consonant cluster '-vnings-' requires careful consideration of sonority to ensure correct syllable division.
- Swedish allows for relatively complex consonant clusters, which can influence syllable boundaries.
- The genitive suffix '-ets' is a standard inflectional ending and doesn't pose significant challenges to syllabification.
