=January 2021 - Adjectival Bynames in Old Norse= | |||

In Old Norse, strong adjectives and weak adjectives are treated differently. So how does one tell the difference? | Based on several recent submissions, there appears to be some confusion about Old Norse descriptive bynames based on adjectvies.

''Ulfhamar Hus | ''Ulfhamar Hus// was documented as a farm name. This name has two problems. First, the correct spelling of the farm name is //Úlfshamar// ("the farm at wolf's crag"), which was documented by Orle in commentary. Secondly, commenters were unable to document the use of the designator //Hus// (or any other designator) with a farm name using the //-hamar// element. We cannot drop //Hus// for two reasons. One is that the submitter does not allow major changes, such as removing an element. Second, SENA NPN.1.A requires all non-personal names to include a designator. A geographical term such as //-hamarr'' "crag" does not meet this requirement, and we are forced to return this name. | ||
Upon resubmission, the submitter may wish to know that the word ''staðr | Upon resubmission, the submitter may wish to know that the word ''staðr// means "stead, farm", and appears in attested animal-related farm names. Examples documented in a prior submission are//Sparrarstaðir//, //Selsstaðir//, and //Elgjarstaðir//. In these cases, //-staðir// is the designator, and the animal (sparrow, seal, and elk, respectively) is the substantive element. The submitter should be aware, however, that //Ulfstaðir'' has already been registered. | ||
