Synopsis: |
Not since Jakob Jakobsen's An Etymological Dictionary of the Norn Language in Shetland (1928) has so comprehensive a work been attemted. Whilst there remains the need for a new academic study of the etymology of dialect words, the dictionary is vastly more than a mere wod list. It provides a useful starting point for those interested in the origin of Shetland words and offers comparisons with similar useage in other languages. Over 4000 seperate entries including an addenda of words once used by Shetland's 19th century, 'haaf', or deep sea fishermen - and some quirky 'modern' additions to the dialect. |
