↑ ^1.0 ^1.1 [tɕ] is phonemically /tj/, and [ɕ] is phonemically /sj/.
↑ ^2.0 ^2.1 ^2.2 Diphthongs with an underlying long vowel always have stød, but the ones with an underlying short vowel do not. [ej, ɛj, æj, øj, æw, ow, ɔw] all have an underlying long vowel and so always have stød. Conversely, [ɑj, ʌj, uj, ɑw, ɒw] have an underlying short vowel and so never have stød. The other diphthongs (including all diphthongs ending with [ɐ̯]) appear both with and without stød ((Grønnum 2005294)).
↑ ^3.0 ^3.1 ^3.2 Both [o] and [ɔ] are allophones of the short /o/. Generally, the former appears in open syllables and the latter in closed ones, but there are exceptions such as flod [ˈfloðˀ] which has [o] instead of the expected [ɔ]. The short /ɔ/ is realized as [ʌ] ((Basbøll 200550)).
↑ ^4.0 ^4.1 [ɪ] and [ʊ] are assimilatory variants of [jə] and [wə], respectively.

[alveolopalatal-1] 1.0 ^1.1 [tɕ] is phonemically /tj/, and [ɕ] is phonemically /sj/.

[stod-dip-2] 2.0 ^2.1 ^2.2 Diphthongs with an underlying long vowel always have stød, but the ones with an underlying short vowel do not. [ej, ɛj, æj, øj, æw, ow, ɔw] all have an underlying long vowel and so always have stød. Conversely, [ɑj, ʌj, uj, ɑw, ɒw] have an underlying short vowel and so never have stød.

[shortback-3] 3.0 ^3.1 ^3.2 Both [o] and [ɔ] are allophones of the short /o/. Generally, the former appears in open syllables and the latter in closed ones, but there are exceptions such as flod [ˈfloðˀ] which has [o] instead of the expected [ɔ]. The short /ɔ/ is realized as [ʌ] ((Basbøll 200550)).
