Svalbarð

== Faroese == === Etymology === From Old Norse Svalbarð, from svalr (“cool”) + barð (“edge, brim”), thus roughly meaning “cold shore”. Cognate with Icelandic Svalbarði and Norwegian Svalbard. Probably a learned borrowing through Norwegian, because the original meaning of the Old Norse word is uncertain, but, according to Nansen and Alexander Bugge, may be the same as the modern Svalbard archipelago. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ˈsvalpɛaːɹ/ === Proper noun === Svalbarð n Svalbard (an archipelago, territory, and unincorporated area of Norway northeast of Greenland, in the Arctic Ocean) ==== Declension ==== ==== Derived terms ==== svalbarðsgás (“pink-footed goose”) === References ===
