Hi
Simon.
Baggalútur is a rock formation that comes in to
existance in ryolit-lava -
I
won't go into details how, but you can see the thing here.:
We are
talking about small reddish balls, either just a single one or a
few clastered
together.
I have
NO idea why they picked that name for the site but you get
used
to it
fast enough.
And
since this is a language mailing-list I feel that I must add
something
grammatical to my first post ;) :
The
plural is 'baggalútar' but lútur in the sense you mentioned
doesn't
have a
plural, for obvious reasons.
Regards,
Dúnja
Hi!
What does Baggalútur mean, pls?
Baggi =
pack/burden/bundle; lútur = base/alkali, but I'm still none the
wiser!
Cheers,
Simon

Hello :-)
Thought I'd share this with
you.

Baggalútur
is an Icelandic silly-news web; similar to
The Onion. According to this
item the Fenris-wolf has
- once again - broken loose from its
"fjöturr".
"Þetta er í þriðja sinn sem úlfurinn sleppur á þessu
ári
og hafa bæjaryfirvöld hótað ásum að skepnan verði aflífuð
komi
þetta fyrir aftur."
"This is the third time the wolf escapes this
year
and the municipal authorities have threatened the Æsir
that the
creature will be killed if this happens again."
- - -
From the
verb:
skepja - skóp - skópum - skapit; create (shape)
the
noun:
skepna, -u; creature
is
derived.
Kveðja,
