Onset-Rime Principle
Syllables are formed around a vowel nucleus (rime) preceded by one or more consonants (onset).
Consonant Cluster Permissibility
Swedish allows for relatively complex consonant clusters in both onsets and codas.
Morpheme Preservation

Open Syllable Preference
Swedish favors open syllables where possible.
- The long vowel /aː/ in '-pars' influences syllable weight.
- The geminate consonant /tː/ in '-rätts-' is a characteristic feature of Swedish.
