	#/əˑ/ is the unstressed realization of /ɜˑ, ɞˑ/. (differing by slender vs broad)		#/əˑ/ is the unstressed realization of /ɜˑ, ɞˑ/. (differing by slender vs broad)

			===Prosody===
			The rules for stress are very slightly more complex than they were in Old Norse, but not by much.
			:Stress always goes on the left-most syllable possible. When there are vowels with a grave, stress goes to the first one, skipping over all vowels without one. (so ''sudhraèir'' is stressed on "aèi")

	===Mutation===		===Mutation===
			Since Old Norse, initial [[w:consonant mutation\|consonant mutation]] has developed. Scots Norse has three forms:
	:radical (basic)		:radical (basic)
	:lenition		:lenition
	:eclipsis		:eclipsis

			The following gives each form of {{l\|snon\|tàl}}:
	:''tàlir'' /ˈtɑ.ʎəɾʲ/		:''tàlir'' /ˈtɑ.ʎəɾʲ/
	:''dàlir'' /ˈdɑ.ʎəɾʲ/		:''dàlir'' /ˈdɑ.ʎəɾʲ/
