Std in Danish proper names

Some proper names deviate from the way std is distributed in the Danish vocabulary in general. Oxytone lexemes with long sonority rhymes normally have std, as in mus [mu??s] 'mouse,' telt [t??l?d?] 'tent' and [p???????d?] parat 'ready.' So do the boys' names Hans [han?s] and Rolf [??l?f]; but Jens [j?ns] and Niels [nels] have no std. Paroxytone lexemes are generally without std, as in skole [?s??o?l?] 'school,' [?hu??d?i] hurtig 'quick' and [b?a?l??] ballade 'rumpus.' So are the towns Holte [?h?ld??] and Horsens [?h??s?ns]; but Balslev [?b?al?slew] and Borup [?b?o????b?] have std. Nine thousand proper names were analyzed in search of phonological properties that might account for the departure from the fundamental principle of lexeme std in Hans Basbll's Non-Std Model. The results do not challenge the validity of the model; but they suggest an amendment and a differentiation of the perception of boundaries between elements in compound and compound-like names.
