Onset Maximization

Swedish attempts to maximize the onsets of syllables by including as many consonants as possible at the beginning of a syllable.

Sonority Sequencing Principle

Syllables tend to follow a sonority hierarchy, with vowels being more sonorous than consonants.

Avoidance of Single-Letter Syllables

Swedish generally avoids syllables consisting of a single consonant.

  • The word is a loanword, and its syllabification is influenced by its Greek/Latin origins.
  • The consonant cluster '-falo-' is a potential edge case, but is permissible in Swedish, especially in loanwords.
