I find this exteremely interesting. Can you point me to any
good reference work on this?

Are there any minimal sets in Dalska where you can distinguish
four words solely by the length of the vowel and consonant?
(Such as ON "at - att - át - átt".)

Do you know if I can obtain sound samples of Dalska somewhere?

Kveðja,
