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 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 double 's' in '-seriets' does not affect syllabification.
- The consonant cluster /trak/ is permissible in Swedish onsets.
- Stress shift due to compounding and suffixation is a common phenomenon in Swedish.
