The stød is sometimes referred to as a "glottal catch", and in very deliberate
speech may be realized as a glottal stop. The more usual manifestation seems to be
a period of irregular voicing (creaky voice). It seems celar that it cannot be
regarded as a secondary articulation attached to a particular segment. It may appear
in both consonants and vowels, the location of its appearance depending on the
syllable structure (see Laver, 1994, p.330).
