	Swedish Grammar
		Swedish nouns are divided into declensions depending on their stem, how the plural is formed, and on their gender (which is either 'uter' or 'neuter').
		Swedish verbs fall into one of five conjugations, the first three of which are termed "weak", because of their having undergone reduction and loss of the older Germanic stem changes.
		Swedish verbs are not inflected by person or number (although they still used to be inflected by number as late as in the 1930:ies), but they are inflected by tense, mood, and voice.

		Of particular success were the works of the Swedish Rrstrand porcelain factory (2), a firm excelling in a painterly repertory of radiant flowers sculpted in shallow relief by such artist-designers as Alf Wallander and Nils Erik Lundstrm who took nationalistic pride in turning native flora and fauna into three-dimensional vessels of exceptional beauty.

	Swedish Hallmarks on Silver and other Precious Metals
		Swedish silver is usually marked with quite a few hallmarks that documents the origin of the object and dates it.
		Appart from this stamp all the Swedish city stamp consist of the first, or the two first, letters of the name of the city.
		Since the letter mark gives the year of production of the very piece of silver that is marked, it gives the collector the opportunity to differ between early and newer productions of designs that have been produced for longer periodes.

	Swedish grammar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The modern language no longer conjugates verbs based on person or number, and its nouns have lost the morphological distinction between nominative and accusative cases that denoted grammatical subject and object in Old Norse in favor of marking by word order.
		Differences with English include the inclusion in Swedish of a reflexive pronoun "sig" for third-person reflexive, and the maintenance of distinct 2nd person singular, plural, and objective forms which have all merged to "you" in English, while the third person plurals are becoming merged in Swedish instead.
		In English this form is normally merged with the past participle, or the preterite, and this was formerly the case in Swedish, too (the choice of -it or -et being dialectal rather than grammatical); however, in modern Swedish, they are separate, since the distinction of -it being supine and -et being participial was standardised.

	Phonetic Transcription of Modern Swedish in Runes
		Rendering Swedish v with Uruz is like rendering Swedish j with Isa—historically accurate in Younger runes, but the Elder runes clearly distinguish consonant and vowel sounds.
		Not all y sounds in Swedish derive from an older u; sometimes the original sound was an i, which became rounded because of a u or w sound in the NEXT syllable.
		Modern Swedish lacks the th-sounds in English "that thing", so transcribing them should not normally be an issue.
