Greenlandish
Where it comes from
From Greenland + -ish, possibly after Danish grønlandsk.
adjective
- Dated form of Greenlandic (“pertaining to Greenland”). Intimately connected with the question of the date is that of the home of Eddic poetry. There is fair agreement about only two poems: "Atlamál," which is generally allowed to be of Greenlandish origin, and the "Prophecy of Grípir," which no doubt was composed by an Icelander of the twelfth century [
proper noun
-
Dated form of Greenlandic (“language of Greenland”).
Taking it for granted that Greenlandish may be held to represent the Eskimo tongue in general, we shall endeavour to give an idea of its remarkable construction.
