Glad it worked ;)

I noticed that the official aspell dictionary for Nynorsk (what
is that in English ...Newnorwegian?) has a lot of words that
were not present in the word list from Språkbanken, but not
being an expert in either Norwegian or Nynorsk, it seems to me
that most of these were just words from Norwegian Bokmål? Maybe
you will want to investigate that yourself. If you install the
official "nn" dictionary and then run 

   aspell dump master nn > nn2.wl

and then diff it to the one from Språkbanken, then maybe a lot
more words could be added?

There is also the Apertium dictionary for Nynorsk:

  
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/apertium/apertium-nno/master/apertium-nno.nno.dix

where you may harvest many more words for your dictionary.


Best,
