Alternative forms[edit]
Etymology[edit]
This is really an interfix variant of the suffix -an, used to form directional adverbs. From Old Norse suffix -an, from Proto-Germanic *-anē, used to denote ablativ adverbs.
Interfix[edit]
-an-
- Used to bind together a directional adverb and a preposition to create composite ones.
Usage notes[edit]
- Alternatively, -a- may be used preceding a consonant (bortantil or bortatil), but never preceding a vowel (only bortanom). The same rules also apply (and have also applied) to compounds where -a(n)- is not strictly an interfix, but a part of the word itself (ovanpå or ovapå). These have been the current rules since a 2022 spelling decision.[1]
