Abstract

In Faroese there is univerbation of phrases like onkran stað ‘some place’ to onkrastað- with deletion of the accusative ending -n in onkran ‘some’. In this particular case an adverbial suffix -ni is added giving the adverb onkrastaðni ‘somewhere’. It is univerbation and derivation of this kind that will be addressed here, where the second part of the compounds is -beint ‘straight’, -leið ‘path’, -stað ‘place’, -steðs ‘place’, -tíð ‘time’ and -veg ‘road’.
