When it comes to ''m'' (or sometimes {{m}}), it is the shorthand to denote nouns of masculine gender. Similarly, ''f'' = feminine, ''n'' = neuter, ''c'' = common, ''pl'' = plural and ''s'' = singular. These last two have sofar been less common. These are - or should be - the only abbreviations used.

Hi Ævar. Re your question on muggle: what does m stand for?
- m stands for "masculine gender". I believe Icelandic has three genders: masculine, feminine, and neuter. For nouns you should always indicate the gender if you know it. — Hippietrail 16:34, 28 September 2005 (UTC)

Audio done[edit]
I see it has been sitting there for awhile, but I did do audio for isthmus, genre, and cache. I will try to keep a closer watch on the audio requests page; meanwhile if you would like a faster response, please don't hesitate to nudge me on my talk page if there is something you'd like to hear. --Dvortygirl 05:30, 10 December 2005 (UTC)
