gróa

Icelandic
Etymology
From Old Norse gróa, from Proto-Germanic *grōaną, from Proto-Indo-European *gʰreH₁- (“to grow, become green”).
Pronunciation
- Rhymes: -ouːa
Verb
gróa (ri-verb, third-person singular past indicative greri or gréri, supine gróið)
- to growTemplate:jump
- to healTemplate:jump
- Sárið grær ekki.
- The wound doesn't heal.
Usage notes
- One of the four ri-verbs in Icelandic, the other being núa (“to rub, massage; to wipe”), snúa (“to turn”) and róa (“to row”).
- Even though some forms that include the letter e are pronounced as having an é, the e-spelling is thought to be correct by the Icelandic ministry of education. The preferred spelling of the first person singular past tense indicative form of the word gróa would thus be greri (“I turned”) instead of gréri (“I turned”), although both forms are used.
