Maximize Onsets and Codas

Swedish syllabification aims to create syllables with as many consonants in the onset and coda as possible, while avoiding illegal consonant clusters.

Avoid Stranded Consonants

Consonants are generally not left at the end of a syllable unless they are part of a permissible coda.

  • The consonant cluster 'rd' is common and doesn't pose a syllabification issue.
  • The stress pattern deviates from the typical first-syllable stress due to the compound nature of the word.
