[edit]Pronunciation

Note: The archaic nominative and accusative plural brýn is mostly used in fixed expressions, such as bera á brýn (“to accuse [someone] of [something]”). The definite nominative and accusative plural brýnnar finds slightly more use, mostly in expressions like hnykla brýnnar and setja í brýnnar. This latter form, pronounced /ˈpritnar/, has also been reanalyzed as brýrnar (and is often so spelled), and has given rise to the indefinite plural form brýr. Both brýrnar and brýr are proscribed, although they have been in use since at least the 17th century. Compare Faroese brún, plural brýr.
