Maximize Onsets and Codas

Swedish syllabification aims to create syllables with as many consonants in the onset and coda as possible, 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.

Compound Word Stress

Stress in compound words often shifts to the second element.

  • The presence of consonant clusters (e.g., 'str', 'ts') requires careful consideration to ensure proper syllabification.
  • The compound nature of the word influences stress placement.
