My granddad is fond of the example "I å ä e ö" [i: o: E: e: 9:] (the last
vowel might be open rather than mid-open - the "OE" sound the we discussed
couple weeks ago). It means "In the river is an isle", but is rather
dialectal. Standard Swedish would keep alot of consonants that're dropped in
granddad's dialect: "I ån är (det) en ö".
