SamSkandinavisk: Difference between revisions

Clusters of '''r''' followed by a dental consonant such as '''rd, rt, rn, rl, rs''' merge to form the retroflex consonants /ɖ/, /ʈ/, /ɳ/, /ɭ/, /ʂ/. For example '''hard''' /haɖː/. This may also lead to a compensatory lengthening to stem vowel.  For example '''hard''' /haːɖ/. Long versions of the vowel in such instances are considered to be allophones of the short vowels rather than long vowels. The long '''e''' vowel in '''verd''' /vɛːɖ/ is not considered the same vowel as in '''ved''' /veːd/
