Guyró
Norwegian Nynorsk
[edit]
Alternative forms
[edit]Etymology
[edit]From Old Norse Guðrún where the -n is lost following nationalisation of the preceding vowel (cf. augun > augo). The diphthong is due to the -ð- getting a j sound before r, akin to veir from veðr.
Pronunciation
[edit]- (Setesdal dialect) IPA(key): [²ɡuyʷrou̯ː]
Proper noun
[edit]Guyró f
- (dialectal, Setesdal dialect) alternative form of Gudrun.
Usage notes
[edit]Because the diphthong in this name is identical to the Setesdal pronunciation of long y, is has often been written like Gyro (i.e. Gýró). However, this spelling would imply it’s pronounced with /ʝ-/ (palatalisation before Old Norse front vowels) and not /ɡ-/.
