    According to Den Dansk Ordbog (online) the word 'alf' [ˈalˀf] has a slight stød in it. Is the plural form, alfer, pronounced with a stød?

    Tak!

    I have a question about the interjection "fy" eller "fyh."

    Is it ever used on its own without inclusion within a sentence?

    It looks like it's a word to express disgust or disapproval to a degree. My dictionary has the definition as "ugh" or "yuck." Are there better definitions for "fyh"?

    Is it considered a vulgar term?

    Tak!
