Nynorsk prioritizes creating syllables with consonant clusters at the beginning (onsets) whenever possible. This is evident in 'o-ver' and 'skomst'.
Avoid Stranded Consonants
Consonants are generally not left at the end of a syllable unless necessary. This rule is applied throughout the word.
Vowel-Based Division

- The word is consistently a noun, so there are no shifts in syllabification or stress based on grammatical function.
