762 ÖÐLAN -- ÖKKLA.

for sön. &FINGER; The close phonetic relation between ø and y is shewn by the fact that g or k before an ø was sounded as an aspirate, thus, gøra, køt, køri, sounded gjöra, kjöt, kjöri, and more lately spelt with a j, analogous to gjæta, kjær, = gæta, kær, for the j in these words is not radical. II. for the ö see Gramm. p. xxix, col. 2, and the introduction to letter A, p. 1. Runolf, in his Gramm.
