ebreisk

== Norwegian Bokmål == === Alternative forms === hebraisk (usual form), hebreisk (literary, rare) === Etymology === Inherited from Old Norse ebreskr (“Hebrew, Hebraic”), with the modern suffix -isk (“adjective-forming suffix”). The Old Norse adjective ultimately belongs to the same family as Latin Hebraeus (“Hebrew”) and Hebraicus (“Hebrew, Hebraic”), from Ancient Greek Ἑβραῖος (Hebraîos, “Hebrew”), probably through Aramaic עִבְרַי (ʿiḇray, “Hebrew”), from Biblical Hebrew עִבְרִי (ʿiḇrī, “Hebrew, Israelite”). Doublet of hebraisk (“Hebrew, Hebraic”) and hebreisk (“Hebrew, Hebraic”). Compare Icelandic hebreskur (“Hebrew”). === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /eˈbreː.ɪsk/ Rhymes: -eːɪsk Hyphenation: e‧bre‧isk === Adjective === ebreisk (neuter singular ebreisk, definite singular and plural ebreiske, comparative mer ebreisk, indefinite superlative mest ebreisk, definite superlative mest ebreiske) (archaizing, rare) alternative form of hebraisk (“Hebrew, Hebraic; Jewish”) === References === “ebreisk” in Det Norske Akademis ordbok (NAOB).
