Acronyms that contain the term stød 

Stød

Stød is a suprasegmental unit of Danish phonology, which in its most common form is a kind of creaky voice, but may also be realized as a glottal stop, above all in emphatic pronunciation. Some dialects of Southern Danish realize stød in a way which is more similar to the tonal word accents of Norwegian and Swedish, and in much of Zealand it is regularly realized as something reminiscent of a glottal stop. A probably unrelated glottal stop with quite different distribution rules, occurring in Western Jutland, is known as the 'vestjysk stød'. Because Dania, the phonetic alphabet based on the International Phonetic Alphabet designed specifically for Danish, uses the IPA character for a glottal stop to transcribe stød, the feature is frequently mistaken to be a consonant rather than a prosodic feature. The origin of stød is the number of syllables in Old Norse, just as the word accents of Swedish and Norwegian: original monosyllables received the stød, while words of two or more syllables did not. This is why hund, hunden and finger have the stød in modern Danish, while hunde, hundene and fingre do not.
