\"black-cat\"<\/p>\n

You may have followed the drama the past couple of days surrounding the cat that escaped from a plane at the Reykjavik airport. The main concern was that the cat was just passing through on its way to the U.S., and so hadn’t been through quarantine, which could pose a big risk if the cat were infected with anything and got into the local population. However all is well, Nuk was found safe and sound \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

K\u00f6tturinn Nuk fundinn: “\u00c9g er mj\u00f6g hamingjus\u00f6m\u201c<\/strong><\/a>
\nNuk the cat found: “I’m very happy”<\/strong><\/p>\n

Danski k\u00f6tturinn Nuk, sem hefur veri\u00f0 leita\u00f0 a\u00f0 s\u00ed\u00f0asta s\u00f3larhring, er kominn \u00ed leitirnar og er hann heill \u00e1 h\u00fafi.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nuk the Danish cat, who has been sought for the past day, turned up and is safe and sound.<\/em><\/p>\n

At first I was confused by er hann heill \u00e1 h\u00fafi<\/strong>, because it’s clearly a female cat, so why not use h\u00fan<\/strong>? But I suppose if hann<\/strong> is referring to k\u00f6tturinn<\/strong>, which is masculine, it makes sense, at least gramatically.<\/p>\n

Nuk ran from its owner’s private jet at Reykjavik airport last night, and searchers were looking for the cat additionally because it hadn’t been through quarantine. The owner, Susanne Alsing, said she would pay 100,000 kronur to whomever found the cat.<\/em><\/p>\n

The prefix enka-<\/strong> usually means private<\/em> when attached to things, like an airplane in this case.<\/p>\n

Besides run away<\/em>, strj\u00faka<\/strong> can mean stroke<\/em> or caress<\/em>. Also amusing is that the verb a\u00f0 l\u00e6\u00f0ast<\/strong> means to sneak, prowl<\/em> – just like a cat \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n
