Onset-Rime Principle
Syllables are formed around a vowel nucleus, with preceding consonants forming the onset and following consonants forming the coda.
Sonority Sequencing Principle
Consonant clusters are resolved based on sonority.
Avoidance of Isolated Consonants
Swedish generally avoids leaving a single consonant as the onset of a syllable if it can be grouped with a preceding vowel.
- The *skli* cluster is a potential point of variation, but standard syllabification maintains the cluster.
- The definite plural suffix *-erna* is a common and well-defined morpheme.
