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. Though this is slightly more doubtful, as its ability to appear before i seems to suggest it had an *ʀ- originally.

In modern Jugsnorsk, it has been considered as a vocative case affix, and due to its nature, this is largely accurate.
