Maximize Onsets
Nynorsk favors creating syllables with consonant clusters at the beginning (onsets) whenever possible.
Avoid Stranded Consonants
Consonants are generally not left at the end of a syllable unless necessary due to vowel sequences or other constraints.

Long vowels can support closed syllables.
- Potential reduction or elision of 'r' in rapid speech, but this doesn't affect syllabification.
- The long vowel /iː/ in 'krig' doesn't pose a syllabification challenge.
