Maximize Onset and Coda

Avoid Intervocalic Consonant Clusters

Consonant clusters are generally avoided between vowels, leading to syllable breaks before or after consonants.

  • The 'rs' cluster at the end of the word is a common feature in Swedish and doesn't pose a significant syllabification challenge.
  • The connecting vowel '-a-' is a common feature in Swedish compound words and is typically treated as a separate syllable.
