- Pitch accents in compounds
- Due to apocope in Övdalian, the locative adverb (e.g. 'inne' = 'inside') and the directional adverb (e.g. 'inn' = 'in(ward)') merge if compounded with a preposition (e.g. 'inn-i' = either 'inne + i' or 'inn + i'). The only difference between such compounds is the pitch accent (only if the compound is stressed). These sessions are intended to get clear pronunciations of such minimal pairs.
