I live next to the river Avon which is just the celtic word for river so it's literally the River river :/

>>211733046
I thought Å was Island. Is there another one-letter word im misremembering here?

>>211733476
Ö means island.
The island of Öland means Island land.

heh... finland could only wish they had as quirky and interesting facts like this

>>211733476
wait until you find out about east timor

uhmm... swedesisters...?

>>211733637
å generally means river but lots of these old place names have several or sometimes non defined meanings. -hals, -øra or mo are such examples of vague defined names and these are only from middle norway, north south west all have their own and dont get me started on sweden...

>>211733820
those are swedish THOUGH
finns don't use å for anything other than swedish words and names

>>211733644
So Åland is river land?

>>211733956
>The Åland Islands, or Åland, is an autonomous region of Finland.

>>211733216
How does that even happen?

>>211734094
Yes which is even funnier because I don’t think they have a single river.

Finland is a social construct. Performance art if you will. One day the show will end.
