   • 1982, Torben Kisbye, Vikingerne i England: sproglige spor, →ISBN:

     ... reduktion af tvelyd til enkeltlyd.

     ... reduction of diphthong to monophthong.

   • 1913, Axel Kock, Lis Jacobsen, Sprogets forandring:

     Men hvad er Grunden til, at Lukkelyd^[sic] bliver aspirerede, at ustemte Lyd^[sic] bliver stemte, at Tvelyd bliver Enkeltlyd, og Enkeltlyd bliver Tvelyd? Ja herpaa kan man kun svare med en Omskrivning.

     But what is the reason that stops become aspirated, that unvoiced phones become voiced, that diphtong becomes monophthong, and monophthong, diphthong? Well, one can only answer that question by rephrasing it.
