róa
Icelandic
Pronunciation
- Rhymes: -ouːa
Etymology 1
From Old Norse róa, from Proto-Germanic *rōaną, from Proto-Indo-European *h₁reh₁-.
Verb
róa (ri-verb, third-person singular past indicative reri or réri, supine róið)
- to row, to propel a vessel with oarsTemplate:jump
- to sail out to fishTemplate:jump
- to rock backwards and forwardsTemplate:jump
Usage notes
- One of the four ri-verbs in Icelandic, the other being núa (“to rub, massage; to wipe”), snúa (“to turn”) and gróa (“to grow; to heal”).
- 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 róa would thus be reri (“I rowed”) instead of réri (“I rowed”), although both forms are used.
