Except in the Raseborg county where the pitch accent can still be found among elderly people when speaking dialect.

I would not write that though. Too long a phrase for the ’s. But I realise someone could utter that.

I am a lousy synctactician but I don’t think the ’s in Scandinavian is a gentive case marker anymore. Why,? because it is attached to phrases not words. We don’t say **(Erik)s den (röde)s skĂ€gg” but (Erik den röde)s skĂ€gg.

I think for the North Germanic rhotacism it is not that easy. There are several more phonetic AND phonological circumstances that need to be factored in and explained. I recently gave a presentation where I listed them and came up with a hypothesis: www.researchgate.net/publication/...

Yes, (earlyish) Middle Proto-Finnic substituted the Proto-Baltic /s/ with /s/ but the Proto-Germanic /s/ [ʂ] with /ʃ/. Proto-Baltic of course had an /ʃ/, while Proto-Germanic hadn’t one. For bilinguals inventory structure may have mattered beside phonetics.

IPA also offers possibilities to distinguish between protruded and compressed rounding. #langskyen.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rounded...
