"Vinkelforland opstår, hvor to konvergerende oddesystemer vokser sammen, og den mellemliggende lagune efterhånden fyldes og gror til. Den i det foregående naevnte strandvoldssletteved Dungeness i England er dannet som vinkelforland."

"Where longshore drift occurs in opposite directions, two spits merge into a triangular protrusion along a coastline or lakeshore. Their formation is also dependent on dominant and prevailing winds working in opposite directions."
