It looks like Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur want to make itself know as an elf and Viking town to entice tourists – they intend to set up signs along Reykjanesbraut to announce this fact \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

The town of Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur will spend about three million krona over the next two years on signage and its installation. Among others authorities intend to install three signs along Reykjanesbraut to entice tourists to the town.<\/em><\/p>\n

Don’t get tripped up by lokka<\/strong>, as opposed to loka<\/strong> (close<\/em>). I’m guessing in pronunciation this is where that aspiration on the double kk<\/strong> makes a difference \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n

On them the town will make itself know as an elf and Viking town. The first thing foreign travellers will find out about Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur as they rush down Reykjanesbraut is that the town is an elf and Viking town. \u201cLook out for the elves\u201d will be seen on one sign, and \u201cThe Viking Town\u201d on another. A third will read \u201cTown in the Lava\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n

There another verb that seems similar to \u00feeysa<\/strong>, also with a \u00de<\/strong> – \u00fej\u00f3ta<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n
