*<i>i | *<i>i køyke</i> (NA) - <i>ett kyke</i> (SA) - to cook | ||
Notice the spelling change from 'y' to 'øy' to accommodate the missing [y:] phoneme in NA. | |||
The formation of past tense endings also changes in NA. Words that have an '-r' ending in the past tense in Standard Alska have a '-kk' ending in Northern Alska: | |||
*<i>gikk</i> (NA) - <i>gir</i> (SA) - went | |||
*<i>fikk</i> (NA) - <i> fir</i> (SA) - found | |||
This change applies only to '-r' words and the other past tense suffixes are the same in Northern Alska as they are in Southern Aslka. | |||
