årsk

Norwegian Nynorsk

Alternative forms
  • orsk
  • osjk
  • åsjk

Etymology

The ending -e has disappeared due to apocope. The letter "r" in Nynorsk/Bokmål-spelled words corresponds in most cases to /ʂ/ in Trøndelag dialect if it stands before s, k, t or p. Due to this change, the letter combination rk can be written as rsk (or sjk) in dialectal spelling. [1]

Verb

årsk (present tense årske, past tense årska, past participle årske or årska)

  1. (dialectal, Trøndelag) Eye dialect spelling of orke.
