Descendants of *ga- and *sta-, with vowels that unexpectedly rhyme with contracted descendats of dra(gha) ‘draw’ and ta(gha) ‘take’, occur(ed) in the easternmost (near-extinct) dialects of Estonian Swedish in Harju county, the northernmost dialects of Sweden in Norrbotten and the #FennoSwedish dialects of Ostrobotnia and Eastern Nyland. Attestations indicate that this has also been the case in other parts of Nyland as well as in the southwestern provinces of Åboland and Satakunda.
