Hear is the help that I can offer. However, you may
want to check out www.hi.is/~haukurth/norse and look
at the pronunciation article. It may help more.

Actually, the /hr/ is an aspirated /r/ sound. Breathe
out forcfully while saying the /r/ sound.

The /o/ is like the /o/ in "rope"

The /�/ is like the /th/ in "that." The /�/ is like
the /th/ in "thin".

All of them.

Good luck
