words in -ur

[edit]
  • gulur (yellow), djúpur (deep), drjúgur (substantial; conceited), dökkur (dark), frægur (famous), fullur (full), glöggur (clear), grunnur (shallow), heitur (hot), helgur (holy), hvítur (white), hvorugur (neither (of two)), illur (bad; angry), íslenskur (Icelandic), lágur (low), líkur (like, similar) (hvílíkur (what, what kind of), ólíkur (unlike, different), þvílíkur (such)), ljótur (ugly), mjúkur (soft), ríkur (rich), slíkur (such), slæmur (bad; unwell), sterkur (strong), sumur (some), sætur (sweet), tómur (empty), ungur (young), þröngur (narrow), þungur (heavy), þunnur (thin), þykkur (thick), þýskur (German), örlátur (generous), öruggur (safe, sure, reliable)
  • 'comp' by itself means the same as 'comp:+' i.e. there is a comparative and it uses the default algorithm. Having a comparative implies a superlative by default. By default the superlative(s) is/are derived from the specified comparative(s) by replacing -ri, -li or -ni with -stur. Use '-sup' to turn off superlatives. Note that 'sup:+' is not the same as omitting 'sup' if 'comp:...' is specified, because 'sup:+' requests the default superlative whereas omitting the 'sup' derives the superlative(s) from the specified comparative(s).
  • gulur, heitur, helgur, hvítur, íslenskur, ljótur, ríkur, sterkur, sætur, tómur, þýskur, örlátur, öruggur
  • '^' stands for the (uncontracted) umlauted stem; if the stem ends in -ur, this umlauts the portion before -ur. ^! stands for the contracted umlauted stem. Note that -Crr- will be elided to -Cr- when constructing the comparative. This means for example that , and by itself for the comparative means the stem is umlauted and -ri is added. If contraction is active, the contracted stem is used (which means the -r- of -ri will usually be elided). '^' by itself for the superlative means -st is added to the uncontracted stem.
  • per BÍN:
  • per Thomson:
  • per BÍN:
  • per Thomson: Here ~ stands for the uncontracted stem, and ~! for the contracted stem.
  • per BÍN:
  • per Thomson:
  • With comparatives in -rri, the same rules apply for determining whether to include the first -r- in the stem as for lemmas in -r but not -ur. Here we get a stem ver-, leading to default (correct) superative verstur. To force a stem division, put a / between stem and ending.
  • per BÍN:
  • per Thomson:
  • allur is strong-only and has no comparative or superlative. This is the default but specifying '-comp' positively identifies the adjective as lacking comparative/superlative and categorizes appropriately as well as putting the appropriate label no comparative in the headword.
  • Per BÍN, heilagur has two comparatives heilagri and heilagari but only heilagastur. Here, ~ refers to the stem and + to the default in -ari. The default + for the superlative is not derived from the comparative, unlike when you omit the sup: spec entirely (which would result in two superlatives, incorrect #heilagstur and correct heilagastur).
  • Here, wk_m and wk_f are shortcuts respectively for wk_nom_m+wk_obl_m and wk_nom_f+wk_obl_f.
  • per BÍN:
  • per Thomson:
  • with loss of -d after consonant in neuter:
  • vondur (bad; angry), blindur (blind), auðveldur (easy)
  • with loss of -d after consonant in neuter, and u-mutation:
  • kaldur (cold)
  • with loss of -ð after consonant in neuter:
  • breiður (wide), erfiður (difficult), rauður (red)
  • with loss of -ð after consonant in neuter, and u-mutation:
  • harður (hard)
  • with loss of -t after consonant in neuter, and u-mutation:
  • fastur (firm, fixed), brattur (steep), bjartur (bright), svartur (black),
  • with assimilation of -dd -> -tt in neuter:
  • with assimilation of -dd -> -tt in neuter, and u-mutation:
  • saddur (full, satiated)
  • with assimilation of -ð after vowel -> -tt in neuter:
  • with assimilation of -ð after vowel -> -tt in neuter, and u-mutation (uU mutation in the superlative):
  • glaður (glad), athafnaglaður (industrious?)
  • with maintenance of -ð after vowel in neuter:
  • with maintenance of -ð after vowel in neuter, uU-mutation in the positive, -ri in the comparative, -ast in the superlative with uUU-mutation (e.g. gallaðastur -> feminine gölluðust); all this should be the default when 'pp' is active:
  • kallaður (called), gáfaður (gifted), gallaður (faulty, defective), saltaður (salty)

words in -legur and -ugur

[edit]
  • in -ugur; comparative in -ri, superlative in -astur; per Thomson, optional poetic contraction before vocalic endings, but not in BÍN for any of these words
  • auðugur (rich), grösugur (grassy), göfugur (noble), kunnugur (acquainted, known), máttugur (mighty), slóttugur (cunning, sly), öflugur (strong), öfugur (reversed; wrong), önugur (sullen)

words in -ár, -ór, -úr where the -r is not part of the stem

[edit]
  • blár (blue), flár (gaping, distended; deceitful), frár (swift(footed)), gljár (bright, shining), grár (gray), hrár (raw), knár (vigorous, clever), -skár (herskár (warlike), níðskár (libelous (of poets))), -spár (forspár (prophetic), sannspár (prophetic)), þrár (obstinate, persistent)
  • Default comparative in -rri, default superlative in -astur; endings in -t and -r double the consonant after the long vowel. Thomson claims trúr and þrár can have alternative superlatives trústur and þrástur but BÍN doesn't show them.
  • Per BÍN, gljár has no comparative or superlative
  • frjór (fruitful), mjór (thin, slender), rór (peaceful), sljór (blunt)
  • Like -ár words, when the stem ends in a long vowel, default comparative is -rri and superlative is -astur; but these words need ## as by default the -r is part of the stem.
  • mjór has superlative in -stur not -astur
  • trúr (faithful)
  • Like -ár words, when the stem ends in a long vowel, default comparative is -rri and superlative is -astur; but these words need ## as by default the -r is part of the stem.

words in -ær, -ýr where the -r is not part of the stem

[edit]
  • glær (clear, bright; translucent; pale and ragged), langær (long-lasting), -sær (auðsær (evident), djúpsær (profound), einsær (evident), gagnsær (transparent), glöggsær (clearsighted), víðsær (wide-seeing))
  • Default comparative in -rri, default superlative in -jastur as j-infix is the default here before vocalic endings.
  • glær seems to traditionally (per Thomson, Íslensk orðsifjabók) have a stem glæ- but in modern usage (per BÍN) have a stem glær-; note the * at the beginning of the first footnote, which cancels out the footnote when another footnote is added to the form; that ensures that forms that overlap between the two usages have no footnoe

words in vowel + -r where the -r is part of the stem

[edit]
  • sár (sore), varkár (cautious)
  • Words in -ár and -ær need # to include the -r in the stem. Comparative is -ari, superlative -astur. Thomson claims that all these words have alternative comparatives in -ri and superlatives in -stur but BÍN doesn't show them.
  • ber (bare)
  • bær (able to carry; bearable; entitled) (léttbær (easy to bear), tímabær (timely, opportune), þungbær (burdensome, oppressive)), fær (capable, able; passable (road)) (léttfær (nimble)), glær (clear, bright) (also without -r in the stem), kær (dear), mær (famous, glorious) (archaic), skær (clear, bright; pure), tær (limpid, clear), vær (peaceful), ær (mad, crazy), -ær (andær (opposite-oared) [not in BÍN], einær (one year old; annual (plant)), elliær (senile), fjölær (perennial (plant)), gamalær (senile), langær (long-lasting) [without stem -r in BÍN], margær (many-oared) [not in BÍN])

(likewise fjölær)

  • meyr (tender, sensitive)
  • skír (clear, bright; pure)
  • dýr (dear, expensive), hýr (smiling, friendly; tipsy), rýr (small; poor, scanty), skýr (clear, evident; intelligent)
  • ör (brisk, prompt; liberal, generous)

words in -ur that is part of the stem

[edit]
  • Contraction is the norm here. Default comparative and superlative have contraction + -ari, -astur.
  • bitur (bitter; sharp), digur (thick, burly), ítur (excellent, beautiful), lipur (nimble), vitur (wise, clever)
  • bitur has an alternative comparative biturri. Here ~ stands for the (uncontracted) bitur-.
  • with u-mutation: dapur (sad, downhearted), fagur (beautiful, fair), magur (lean), vakur (movable; ambling (horse)) (árvakur (vigilant; rising early))
  • dapur has comparatives daprari or uncontracted dapurri and superlative only daprastur. Note that the u-mutation of dapur in the feminine singular and neuter plural is döpur.
  • As mentioned above, ^ applies i-mutation to the stem (which umlauts the second-to-last vowel when the stem ends in -ur) and ^! applies i-mutation to the contracted stem.
