→‎Translation: it means north
Linje 227:
What does ''avangnardlek'' mean? As in ''Narssak avangnardlek og Kagssimiut'' on [http://www.ngw.nl/heraldrywiki/images/9/9e/Herredsvaaben.pdf#page=25 this page]. I haven't found ''avangnardlek'' in any online dictionary. Narssak and Kagssimiut are place names, but avangnardlek obviously not, as it is written in lower case. Greetings from the de-WP,--[[Bruger:Ratzer|Ratzer]] ([[Brugerdiskussion:Ratzer|diskussion]]) 15. nov 2016, 12:22 (CET)
 
:It simply means north in the old 1851-1973 orthography (devised by Samuel Kleinschmidt). The modern post-1973 spelling is avannarleq (as in Amerika Avannarleq = North America). The online dictionaries all use the new orthography. You can often try dropping some g's & d's and switching k to q (as in Narssak to Narsaq) to figure out roughly what the modern spelling might be.--[[Bruger:Batmacumba|Batmacumba]] ([[Brugerdiskussion:Batmacumba|diskussion]]) 15. nov 2016, 19:48 (CET)
