Talk:barn
I don't know much about Icelandic, but the IPA here looks a bit fishy. — 65.8.130.187 02:25, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
- No, apparently that's good. A similar thing goes on with the cluster -rl- as well: [rtn̥], [rtl̥]. I'll assume, not being an expert on Icelandic phonetic transcription, that the difference between, say, using [d̥] and [t] is a stylistic choice and I'll let others choose which one should be Wiktionary's standard. Wikipedia, incidentally, uses the latter. --Wytukaze 02:39, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
- This is about right. In English it would be a bit like "bar-DN". --BiT 04:46, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

Seems to be a derogatory term much used among horse-riders on the Internet (though I can't find it in Google Books) to describe people who nag about not following the rules precisely regarding riding and treatment of horses. Equinox ◑ 13:38, 31 March 2021 (UTC)
