Onset-Rime Principle

Syllables are formed around a vowel nucleus, with preceding consonants forming the onset and following consonants forming the rime.

Sonority Sequencing Principle

Consonant clusters are organized according to sonority, with more sonorous sounds closer to the vowel.

Avoidance of Isolated Consonants

Swedish generally avoids syllables consisting of only a single consonant.

  • The word is a compound noun, and the syllabification reflects its morphological structure.
  • The 'kts' consonant cluster is treated as a single unit within a syllable.
  • The final '-et' suffix attracts some stress.
