There is no digraph <rk> involved here - <rr> spells /r/ and <k> spells /s\/, as
it normally does before a stressed front vowel (_köping_ is /s\2:piN/).
/k/+front vowel sequences have been reintroduced by loans like _keps_ "cap",
producing orthographic ambiguity. The change is general in Sw. and Norwegian, I
don't recall about Danish, but I believe Icelandic doesn't have it.
