Skundavisk
Etymology
From Middle Skundavisk muerk, from Old Skundavisk muerka, from Old Norse myrkr, from Proto-Germanic *merkuz. The inherited merkuŕ existed in early Halmisk, but quickly became obsolete before coming back through Old Norse some centuries later. Some linguists claim that mørk wasn't actually inherited from Middle Skundavisk but rather borrowed again from Early Modern Danish mørk because of the irregular vowel shift /ue/ > /ø/. However, most linguists think that the Danish form caused the irregular shift without replacing the word itself.
Pronunciation
IPA: /mɶɐk/
