+Eittlandic, as most other germanic languages, tend to compound words

+English, therefore creating a word and place name meaning “lonely
+land”. Another common example is the word for “wolf”, /noregsúlf/. While

+word uses an «s» in order to create a relationship between the two
+words, defining /úlf/ with /Noreg/. The litteral translation of /noregsúlf/
