faugl

Norwegian Nynorsk

Alternative forms

• fauel, fævvel (Vikværsk, alternative spelling)
• føggel, føgel

Etymology

From Old Norse fogl, alternative form of fugl, from Proto-Germanic *fuglaz. Akin to English fowl. The forms with au are caused by a consistent change of og to aug, common in some dialects. Compare dialectal taug < Old Norse tog.
