norðarri

Old Norse

Originally a comparative form of the adverb norðr. From Proto-Germanic *nurþrōzô (comparative degree of *nurþraz (“north”)). Ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *h₁en (“in”).

norðarri (comparative norðarri, superlative norðastr)

(comparative) more northerly
(superlative) most northerly
- liggja þessi lǫnd norðast
  these lands lie northernmost

This word is one of a little handful of adjectives with defective inflection, existing only in the comparative and superlative forms.
