Just finished reading "Attention all shipping" by Charlie Connelly, in which he visits all the areas of the shipping forecast. His visit to the Faeroes apparently included a look at an ancient phrase book. I'm not going to check if these really exist, in case they don't - they should, and I don't want the facts to get in the way of a good story.
Brenna krakk - "burning the three-legged stool after turning down a suitor"
Fjall - "to go into the hills to work amongst the sheep"
skadahvalur - "whalemeat sold at auction to defray the costs of damage to boats"
vevlingur - "a cord worn around the sleeve when digging for puffins"
skeinkjari - "man who goes among wedding guests offering them drink"
