6. Edge Case Review:

Nynorsk allows for both hard and soft pronunciation of 'g' and 'k' depending on the dialect. This doesn't significantly affect syllable division, but can alter the phonetic realization. The double consonants (nn, dd) are important for maintaining vowel length and are fully pronounced.
