Apparently the beaked whale, getting its name from the Faroe Islands (dœgling?) I am sure we'd all like to know the Faroese word for this creature, too. GreyishWorm (talk) 20:12, 24 October 2022 (UTC)

The Faroese is døglingur, declined like dómur. Anyway this word seems to exist, though very rare. This, that and the other (talk) 23:14, 24 October 2022 (UTC)

Given the absence of the -ur, this was probably borrowed via Danish døgling.__Gamren (talk) 15:06, 5 November 2022 (UTC)
