"guð" meaning in Icelandic

See guð in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /kvʏːð/
Rhymes: -ʏːð Etymology: From Old Norse guð, from Proto-Germanic *gudą, from Proto-Indo-European *ǵʰutós. The /v/ present in the pronunciation is a remnant of a 16th century sound change in Northwestern Iceland where a /v/ was inserted in words beginning with /k/ or /ɡ/ followed by /u/ or /o/. This pronunciation eventually disappeared but was preserved in the word guð (and its derivations) and subsequently spread to the rest of the country.
