[ Chris, way back in Post #173 you said you couldn't think of a single English word that rhymes with 'kød'. If I understand Danish pronunciation correctly I believe that words like 'borough' and 'thorough' might rhyme ] Quote

[nope, not at all, I gave the French example "seul" which clearly ends on a soft "L" sound; you seem to know some German, the letter they use is "ö", the German "Öl"(oil) almost rhymes, but would rather need a double "LL" for them to put the correct emphasis, e.g. hull has a good "L" sound in the end, but the corresponding vowel is missing, while the German don't have words ending in öll it seems - end of lecture, lol] Quote

[ hmmm ... well, what a strange language Danish is, where 'd' on the end of a word sounds like a soft 'L'. Until I attended your lecture I had thought it had virtually no sound at all, hence I came up with 'huh' initially
