- [frr]
*** Letter
[frr]
1. [frr]
**** Usage notes
- Word or stem-initial ⟨ [frr] ⟩ is always voiceless. Otherwise the voice distinction is allophonic in Sylt Frisian: [[z ]] occurs intervocalically after a (stressed) long vowel, else [[s ]] . In the other dialects the distinction is phonemic . The general tendency, here too, is that [[s ]] follows short vowels and [[z ]] follows long ones, but there are many exceptions to this rule of thumb.
- Palatal ⟨ [frr] ⟩ is usually pronounced [[ʃ ]] at the start of a word or stressed syllable. However, in Mooring and predominantly also in Föhr-Amrum Frisian, the spelling ⟨ [frr] ⟩ is used for these cases instead of ⟨ [frr] ⟩. Compare e.g. Sylt [frr] vs. Mooring [frr] .
