:
Margar tegundir kaffibrauðs ... fínasta Scotch Whisky, hið eina í bænum sem enginn fær af hina leiðu timbrmenn.
Many types of bakery products ... the finest Scotch Whiskey, the only one in town that does not result in the dreaded hangover.
The literal meaning of ‘carpenter’, however, is far older.
