Notes

In deliberately archaising speech, the attributive forms sỳt, sỳn, sỳs, sỳm are pronounced /sət, sən, səs, səm/, however in ordinary speech these have all fallen together as /sə/ (/sən/ before a vowel).

Likewise, the forms sìs, sìz may be archaically pronounced /sʲɪs, sʲɪz/, but have fallen together as /sʲɪ/ (/sʲɪn/ before a vowel).

In very colloquial speech, the umlaut pattern may be totally abandoned in favour of harmonising with the following word, e.g. sì sìlb instead of sỳn sìlb; this is stigmatised however.

Predicative forms retain their "full" pronunciations, from sýt /sɨːt/ to sýnę /sɨːnʲə̃/.

Skundavisk

Etymology 1

From Middle Skundavisk si, from Old Skundavisk sī, from Halmisk ᛊᛁ (sī), from Proto-Germanic *sī. The shortening of the original long i in Early Middle Skundavisk is due to analogy with the masculine pronoun hi.
