At 11.50 +0000 02-06-22, Jacques Melot scrobe:
> En suédois (svenska), langue pourtant assez régulière, le pronom
>personnel "de" se prononce "dom" (par influence de la forme
>complément d'objet, "dem", correspondant à l'anglais "them"), "värld"
>(le monde) se prononce "värd", "jord" (terre) se prononce "joood"

Hmmm... to a French speaker the 'r' in "jord" will not be audible - but it
does give a certain firm, explosive quality to the following 'd' whereas
the plain 'd' in "joood" would be soft and soggy.

As for Linnaeus, I vaguely recollect that the name was first adopted in its
latin form, and only later given a Swedish form.
