-angur

== Icelandic == === Etymology === From Old Norse -angr, derived from compounds with a variety of different heads. For example: árangur (“success”) from ár (“year”) + gangur (“course”) farangur (“luggage”) from a modification of far (“passage”) + gagn (“item”) berangur (“(the) open”) from ber (“bare”) + vangur (“field”) Stafangur (“Stavanger”, city in Norway) from stafur (“staff”) + angur (“fjord, bay”) The inflection (with r as part of the stem) is inherited from the last of these angur (“fjord, bay”). === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /auŋkʏr/ Rhymes: -auŋkʏr (note that some words with this suffix may not carry stress on the penultimate syllable, and therefore do not rhyme with the others) === Suffix === -angur m (noun-forming suffix, genitive singular -angurs, nominative plural -angrar) forms nouns from nouns (unproductive) ==== Declension ==== ==== Derived terms ==== ==== See also ==== -ang f === References === === Further reading === Alexander Jóhannesson (1927), Die Suffixe im Isländischen [The Icelandic suffixes] (in German), Halle: Max Niemeyer Gutenberg Buchdruckerei, §19, page 20
