Jugsnorsk
Etymology
Inherited from Varhúsnorsk je, further etymology unknown, but several proposals exist, the most likely are:
- A natural sound that was originally used for calling someone's attention.
- A derivation of Old Norse ja, through an unrecorded usage as an interjection.
In modern Jugsnorsk, it has been considered as a vocative case affix, and due to its nature, this is largely accurate.
Pronunciation
- (before a vowel) [j]
- (before a consonant) [i]
- (unless s-, f-, or h-) [ç]
