hrossafluga

== Icelandic == === Etymology === From hross (“horse”) +‎ fluga (“fly”). The reason for this nomenclature is uncertain, but some think that it has been given this name either because its feet are reminding of a horse's long legs, or because it has legs which are long and clumsy, like those of a horse (compared to the torso). === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ˈr̥ɔsːaˌflʏːɣa/ === Noun === hrossafluga f (genitive singular hrossaflugu, nominative plural hrossaflugur) cranefly, daddy longlegs (Tipulidae) ==== Declension ==== === References ===
