Oops.

Yup. I have _slå det_ > _slå re_ and _slå den_ > _slå ren_. Although _slå re_ seems an odd thing to say. I can't come up with any t-words to hit ('slå'). I usually only hit animates, or tell other people to hit animates: _slå ren!_ (Well, actually, I don't really hit anyone at all.) Though, _slå DET om du kan_ 'try and beat THAT' [slo: "de: Om du- kan] would be a common daniel phrase. :)
