Word Parts
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 in a syllable; they are grouped with adjacent vowels.

- The 'rs' cluster is common in Swedish and doesn't pose a significant syllabification challenge.
- The 'tion' sequence is a standard syllable structure in Swedish.
- The en-plural suffix 'erna' influences stress placement.
