filman

Russenorsk

Alternative forms
  • Fielmain

Etymology

Probably from Norwegian Nynorsk finn (“Sami”) +‎ Norwegian Nynorsk mann (“man”). The first part may also be derived from Norwegian Nynorsk fjell through Russian pronouciation with an unstressed e sound.

The palatalized spelling Fielmain is derived from the common Northern Norwegian dialectal pronunciation (compare to mainnj).

Pronunciation
  • IPA(key): /fiʎ.maɲ/, /fiːlʲmɑn/, /ˈfilʲmənʲ/ (The Northern Norwegian palatalization is attested for this word, spelled as Fielmain)

Noun
