=== Variant Forms of Words === | === Variant Forms of Words === | ||
In Norwegian, as in English, the forms of some words will vary according to how they are used in a sentence. Who—whose—whom or marry—marries— married are examples of words in English with variant forms. The endings of a word in a document may differ from those in this list. For example: | |||
Mann man Kone wife Mannen the man Kona the wife Menn men Koner wives Mennene the men Konene the wives | Mann man Kone wife Mannen the man Kona the wife Menn men Koner wives Mennene the men Konene the wives | ||
=== | ===Alphabetical Order === | ||
Written Norwegian has three letters not found in the English alphabet: Æ (æ), Ø (ø), and Å (å). In most record sources prior to 1915, Å (å) is written as Aa (aa) and filed at the beginning of the alphabet. Modern Norwegian dictionaries, indexes, the Locality section of the Family History Library Catalog, and this word list use the following alphabetical order: | |||
a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z æ ø å | a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z æ ø å | ||
=== | ===Spelling === | ||
