Earth and Space News: Mistur, Anglicized The Mist, Accumulates Icelandic Names and Words

Summary: Mistur, anglicized The Mist, as thriller number three in the Hidden Iceland trilogy authored by Ragnar Jónasson, accumulates Icelandic names and words.

American servicemen acquainted Icelanders with their supplies and vehicles during World War II (Sep. 1, 1939-Sep. 2, 1945) at the United States military base in Keflavík, outside Reykjavík. Icelanders in general and Reykjavíkingers in particular associate the iconic jeep with the adopted word jeep and with the Icelandic equivalent, Jeppa; Aug. 22, 2008, image of 1953 CJ-3B, a civilian incarnation of tWorld War II military jeeps, known as Willys jeeps, in Núpsstadur, southern coastal Iceland: genevieveromier, CC BY 2.0 Generic, via Flickr

Mistur, anglicized The Mist, as thriller number three in the Hidden Iceland trilogy authored by Ragnar Jónasson about Reykjavík Detective Inspector Hulda Hermannsdóttir, accumulates Icelandic names and words for Icelandic-English vocabulary lists.

All characters in the third book bear given names that blend with the Mannanafnanefnd’s (Icelandic Naming Committee, Personal Names Committee, literally “Man Name Committee”) name lists. Anna (“grace, gracious”), Dimma (“darkness”) Jónsdóttir (“gracious god’s daughter”), Erla (“[grey] wagtail commonly, Motacilla cinerea scientifically) and Gerdur (“enclosure, garden, protection, yard”) constitute female personal names. So do Hulda (“secrecy”) Hermannsdóttir (“Herman’s daughter” or “unknown soldier’s daughter”), Kolbrún (“black eyebrows”), Salka (“Sadie”) Valka (“Valgerd[‘s] daughter]”) and Unnur (“love, wave”) Hauksdóttir (“hawk’s daughter”).

Ásgrímur (“god helmet”), Einar Einarsson (“old one’s son”), Halldór (“rock thunder”) Laxness (“salmon peninsula”), Haukur (“hawk) Leó (“lion”) and Hjörleifur (“sword heir”) evoke male personal names.

Jens (“God is gracious”), Jón (“God is gracious”), Olaf Olafsson (“ancestor[‘s] heir”), Snorri (“hard-fighting, quick-turning”), Thorlákur (“thunder’s game”) and Valgerd (“slain-in-battle enclosure”) feature male given names.

Agatha Christie (Sep. 15, 1890-Jan. 12, 1976), as feminine personal name, gets grouped as non-Icelandic nouns with Jeep, as automobile marque owned by Stellantis N.V. corporation. The former has Icelandic equivalents, for meaning, not for use, in Agöthu (“honorable”) Kristófersdóttir (“Christ-bearer’s daughter”) even as the latter has its accepted equivalent in Jeppa. Common nouns include such ingestible items as hangikjöt (“hung ham or lamb] meat [for Christmas dinner]”) and kæst skata (“fermented [common] skate” literally, Dipturus batis scientifically).

Skyr (“separated [from whey into cheese whose consistency juxtaposes curdled sheep’s milk and fresh yogurt]”) joins other Icelandic names and words in Mistur, anglicized The Mist.

Inclement weather and necessary purchases kindle characters knowing to keep lopapeysa (“unspun-wool sweater”) in their wardrobe and krónor (“crown”) notes, as Icelandic currency, in their pockets.

The Czech car Škoda (“damage”), unlike the Jeep marque loved by Icelanders since World War II (Sep. 1, 1939-Sep. 2, 1945), lacks equivalent, official Icelandic names. Höfudborgarsvædid (Greater Reykjavík, “The Capital Region” literally) manifests Reykjavík, with its downtown Hótel Borg (“castle, fortress, stronghold”) and Laugavegur ("Wash Road") shops, and six other municipalities. Reykjavíkingers navigate Route 1, nicknamed Hringvegur (“Ring Road”) 1 and Thjódvegur (“National Road”) 1, from Gardabær (“garden town”), Hverfisgata (“farm-clustered neighborhood road”) and Kópavogur (“seal bay”).

Mistur, anglicized The Mist, offers among Icelandic names and words Álftanes (“swan peninsula”) on Reykjanes (“smoky peninsula”) and Selfoss (“seal waterfall”) on Ölfusá (“Ölfus [municipality] water”).

Ring Road never perturbs pulchritudinous wildland-urban interfaces from Reykjanes and Selfoss southeastward to Kirkjubæjarklaustur (“church farm cloister”) and northeastward to Höfn í Hornafirdi (“horn fjord harbor”).

Ring Road queues northeastward to Egilsstadir (“eagle’s place”), northwestward to Akureyri (“sandbank field”) and Blönduós (“mixed[-water] estuary”) and then southward to Borgarnes (“city headland”) and Reykjavík. It runs southward proximitous to such natural beauty as that retained along the Laugavegur (“Water Road”) trail from Landmannalaugar (“People’s Pools”) to Thórsmörk (“thunder [god’s] valley”). Ring Road shares such spectacles as Mýrdalsjökull (“mire dale glacier”) with southward sojourners and Jökulsárlón (“glacial river lagoon”) and Vatnajökull (“glacier of lakes”) with eastward sojourners.

Ríki (“state”) government, state-monopoly liquor stores turn up among Icelandic names and words in Mistur, anglicized The Mist, and perhaps most in Icelander conversations during Christmas.

Reykjavík Detective Inspector Hulda Hermannsdóttir appears as the only person associated with the Czech car Škoda ("damage") in the Hidden Iceland trilogy authored about her by Ragnar Jónasson. She never articulates any Icelandic equivalent, not even the literal Icelandic Skemmd, or any nickname for her green, trusty, two-door Czech import: Cherubino, CC BY SA 4.0 International, via Wikimedia Commons
