You sent me down one hell of a rabbit hole 😭 At first I was confused by the tone marker, but it turns out Swedish is a pitch accent language. So that clears things up xd

But before I even got to that, the section on vowels caught my eye. Apparently, /oː/ can be realized as [ɤʷː], [oə] (Central Standard), or [ɔə] (Gotland?). So apparently [blɤ̂ʷːhaj], [bloəhaj], and [blɔəhaj] are all valid realizations of /blôːhaj/ (varying in dialect)? Thankfully BLÅHAJ has no rhotics or i wouldve started getting into the literature
