   @awl if i were to spell it phonetically for english, it'd be like... oonder tuuy? I'm trying to learn the language, and their extra vowels are honestly one of the harder parts

     @raritysounds like it evolved from 'trag', meaning 'wear' or 'to wear'

     @rarity @awl The closest thing English has to an "ø" is the "u" in "hurt", the "i" in "flirt", the first "e" in "fervent".

     @rarity Come to think of it, the Scandy "u" is represented in the famous Canadian "about", which would be something like "øbøut". :-)

     @dokidoki @rarity No, "tøy" meaning "clothes" or "fabric" comes from an older word meaning generally "stuff", "possessions" or "tools".

     @clacke figured that. That's the sound related to the IPA character.
