The origin ofr Faroese ta

Haukur Þorgeirsson

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

The modern Faroese pronoun form ta is unlikely to continue a putative Old Norse *þa variant as suggested by Kroonen (2010). In 19th century Faroese, the form tá is found, obviously deriving from Old Norse þá. The ta form can be explained as a younger analogical formation derived from the identically pronounced neuter tað
