2015, Niels Hein, Ulv!: Dyret - myten - fremtiden, Gyldendal A/S, →ISBN:

The phenomenon of shape-shifting also has this lawless aspect. It is a literal transformation into wolf. Shape-shifting should not be confused for werewolves, which we know from Medieval superstition or from present-day pop culture.

Jeg har nævnt, at sejd anvendes i forbindelse med kampene i Gǫngu-Hrólfs saga. Heller ikke synskhed endsige evnen til hamskifte er forbeholdt guder.

The micronation has taken its name from the dragon Ladon. In Greek mythology, Ladon guards a tree of golden apples.

Dens navn er Ladon, og den har hundrede hoveder og sover aldrig; men det hjælper den ikke, Herakles er en halvgud.

1967, Bengt Holbek, Iørn Piø, Fabeldyr og sagnfolk:

Its name is Ladon, and it has a hundred heads and never sleeps; but that does not help it, Heracles is a demigod.

Further analysis of Asger's reading mistakes shows that many of the mistakes involve words with a consonant cluster.

... in the second, it is made in the transition between, respectively, a consonant cluster and a pause and the element -ride.

Slud-der: er et temmelig svært ord pga. konsonantklyngen sl-, det bløde d og endelsen -er, så 'slud-der' må staves flere gange i kor.

2001, Lærervejledning Til Abc-bøgerne, Gyldendal Uddannelse, →ISBN, page 179:

Slud-der: is a fairly difficult word because of the consonant cluster sl-, the soft d and the ending -er, so "sludder" must be spelled several times in chorus.

2017, Niels Holck, Sprogets univers, Lindhardt og Ringhof, →ISBN, page 39:

The human produces phones using the articulatory organs (...) When we speak - produce phones - the lungs press air up through the throat.

Den hurtige og smidige bevægelse fra sproglyd til sproglyd kan sammenlignes med en koreografi.

2010, Dorte Koch, Find din stemme, Hans Reitzels Forlag, →ISBN, page 30:

The quick and flexible movement from phone to phone may be compared to a choreography.

Stemmebåndenes vibrering er imidlertid ikke nødvendig til dannelsen af en sproglyd.

The vibration of the vocal chords is not, however, necessary for the formation of a phone.

En sproglyd er en virksomhed af de menneskelige taleorganer, der frembringer en sådan bevægelse i luften, at man er istand til gennem øret at opfatte og genkende den med tilstrækkelig bestemthed til at hele processen kan benyttes som meddelelsesmiddel fra det ene menneske til det andet.

1899, Otto Jespersen, Fonetik: en systematisk fremstilling af læren om sproglyd:

A phone is an activity of the human articulatory organs producing such a movement in the air that one is capable, using one's ear, of perceiving and recognizing it with a sufficient determinacy for the entire process to be used as a means of communication from one human to the next.
