Word Parts
Maximize Onsets and Codas
Swedish syllabification aims to create syllables with as many consonants as possible in the onset and coda positions, while avoiding stranded consonants.
Avoid Stranded Consonants
Consonants are generally not left alone to begin a syllable unless necessary due to the word's structure.
- The complex consonant cluster 'spräng' is common in Swedish and doesn't pose a significant syllabification challenge.
- The definite plural suffix '-arna' is a standard inflectional ending and is treated as a single unit for syllabification.
