''Stófð'' is a common prosodic feature that is realised as a creaky voice, often in combination with a posterior glottal approximant<ref>In some dialects the glottal approximant may be realised as a voiced pharyngeal frictative.</ref>. It is similar to the Danish ''stød''.


Unlike ''sang'' (see below), ''stófð'' only seems to occur on certain monosyllables that find their origin in Old Norse, notwithstanding grammatical modifiers, and which may have been accented or pitched in a particular manner.


Within the universe wherein Dogrish is used, debate between linguists is ongoing about the nature of ''stófð''. It is believed that ''stófð'' precedes ''sang'', due to the fact that under almost all circumstances ''stófð'' neutralises ''sang'' in compound words or speedily uttered phrases, thus indicating that ''sang'' may have occured or become commonplace later in time.


''Stófð'' is indicated in neither Formal Dogrish nor Valley Dogrish spelling.
