Abstract
In Faroese there is univerbation of phrases like onkran stað ‘some place’ to
onkrastað- with deletion of the accusative ending -n in onkran ‘some’. In this
particular case an adverbial suffix -ni is added giving the adverb onkrastaðni
‘somewhere’. It is univerbation and derivation of this kind that will be addressed
here, where the second part of the compounds is -beint ‘straight’, -leið ‘path’,
-stað ‘place’, -steðs ‘place’, -tíð ‘time’ and -veg ‘road’.
