Suffix erne or -onePublished by Fudgy McFarlen on September 2, 2015September 2, 2015 In Danish the name Færøerne may reflect an Old Norse word fær (sheep). The morpheme øerne represents a plural of ø (island) in Danish. The Danish name thus translates as "the islands of sheeps" Categories: Language 0 0 votes Article Rating Subscribe Login Notify of new follow-up comments new replies to my comments Label {} [+] Name* Email* Website Δ Label {} [+] Name* Email* Website Δ 0 Comments Oldest Newest Most Voted Inline Feedbacks View all comments
