   • 2020 July 13, Emelía Eiríksdóttir, “Hvað er eind?”, in Vísindavefurinn‎^[1]:

     Það er þó ekki svo að allar agnir undir ákveðinni stærð beri endinguna eind því ein af grunneiningum alheimsins (og ein af minnstu einingum alheimsins ásamt rafeindum) heitir kvarkur (e. quark, kvarkar í fleirtölu).

     But it is not the case that all particles under a given size bear the ending -eind, as one of the fundamental particles of the universe (and one of the smallest particles of the universe alongside electrons) is called the quark.
