Here are a few Faroese terms relating to the pilot whale slaughter. I've already explained a couple of them, but the others are new. Here they are!
Grindadrap: The killing of pilot whales
Grindaknivur: A whaling knife
Grindhval: A pilot whale
Grindamaour: Participant at the grindadrap
Hi Haley. Hope you're having a good spring. Those are some hard words to remember. Let's hope they kill "null Grindahvalur" (zero pilot whales).
ReplyDeleteThank you, you too. Yes, they are. The only one I can both remember and know how to pronounce is grindadrap.
