Nynorsk prioritizes 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 the word's structure.

- The double 'n' in 'grunnlag' affects vowel length and pronunciation.
- Compound words in Nynorsk often follow these syllable division patterns.
