Further: e: dialectal version of "det", i.e. "it" öa, åa: adding an a on the end of a noun is a dialectal way of expressing "the 'ö'" and "the 'å'", respectively.

But the 'e' doesn't precede any of the forms 'åa' or 'öa', but only the indeterminate 'å' and 'ö'. The 'e' is definitely 'en', not 'det'.

Wouldn't "e" just be a contraction of "en" in this sentence? Is it "det" in the dialect?

No, you're right, it's "en": "...en å, och i ån är en ö". "Det" would be totally ungrammatical, dialect or no dialect.
