gróa
See also: Gróa
Icelandic edit
Etymology edit
From Old Norse gróa, from Proto-Germanic *grōaną, from Proto-Indo-European *gʰreH₁- (“to grow, become green”).
Pronunciation edit
- Rhymes: -ouːa
Verb edit
gróa (ri-verb, third-person singular past indicative greri or gréri, supine gróið)
Usage notes edit
- One of the four ri-verbs in Icelandic, the other being núa (“to rub, massage; to wipe”), snúa (“to turn”) and róa (“to row”).
- As with the other ri-verbs, the past tense greri was originally pronounced with an e sound but is today pronounced with a é sound. There are therefore two spelling variants used: greri and gréri. The Icelandic Ministry of Education considers both variants to be equally correct,[1] but many speakers consider the original greri spelling to be the more correct one.
