Onset Maximization
Swedish favors creating syllables with onsets (consonant sounds at the beginning). Consonant clusters are broken down to achieve this.

Syllables are often divided after vowels, especially when followed by consonants.
Consonant Cluster Resolution
Complex consonant clusters are broken down to create permissible syllable structures.
- The compound nature of the word requires careful consideration of morphemic boundaries, but these do not override the phonological rules of syllabification.
